Avraham is terrified of water. He goes to a behavioral therapist who can't decide if he should use implosion therapy or flooding. What would each type of intervention look like?
a. Implosion therapy would take the time to figure out why Avraham is so terrified of water, while flooding would involve the use of medication designed to induce a state of relaxation.
b. Implosion therapy would ask Avraham to imagine that he was wading into a swimming pool, while flooding would involve taking Avraham to a community pool and pushing him in.
c. Implosion therapy would focus on immediate behavioral change, while flooding would focus on uncovering the roots of Avraham's fear.
d. Implosion therapy would force Avraham to get into the water and learn to swim while the therapist models how safe the water can be, while flooding would involve having Avraham sit on the side of a pool and watch the therapist get in the water alone.
