Aversion Therapy A treatment based on the principles of classical conditioning

Aversion Therapy Uses classical conditioning to get rid of addictions or unwanted behaviours. Patient’s unwanted addiction is paired with a drug that makes them sick or electric shocks.

Aversion Therapy Aversion therapy can be used with alcoholics. Alcohol is paired with an emetic drug (a drug which causes nausea and vomiting). Over time the alcoholic associates alcohol with being sick and does not want to drink alcohol anymore. Other drinks such as soft drinks are given without the drug so that the person is not conditioned to feel sick to all drinks.

Aversion Therapy (UCS) Emetic DrugVomiting (UCR) (CS) Alcohol + (UCS) Emetic DrugVomiting (UCR) (CS) AlcoholVomiting (UCR)

Aversion Therapy Aversion therapy can be used with paedophiles. Paedophiles can give themselves a self- administered electric shock every time they look at a child or a picture of a child.

Evaluation of Aversion Therapy

+Can help alcoholics when used alongside another treatment. -Effects may not be permanent – Association between alcohol and vomiting may fade over time if the person drinks alcohol without taking the emetic drug. Ethical issues – Distressing, patient lacks control
