Confrontational therapy: when a therapist confronts an individual about their beliefs

Systematic: a type of psychology that studies human behavior and experience

Flooding: a type of therapy that exposes an individual to what they fear, encountering a stimuli to be stronger against it.

Aversion: a type of therapy useful in addictions in which a patient is exposed to a stimuli as well as something discomforting.
