What Is Aversion Therapy?
Question: What is aversion therapy?
Answer: Aversion therapy is a kind of conditioning based on coupling the sight, smell and taste of alcohol with noxious or negative stimuli so that the person will want to avoid drinking altogether. One form of aversion therapy is called covert sensitization. This involves the use of verbal suggestion to associate imagined drinking with unpleasant experiences such as nausea. This form of therapy is used much less commonly than other forms of treatment.
