Which is a listed Intervention technique?

• A. Dream analysis
• B. Cognitive restructuring
• C. Systematic desensitization
• D. Dream rehearsal

Answer: (C)

Systematic desensitization is a listed intervention technique used in behavioral therapy. It trains the client in relaxation and then applies gradual exposure to feared stimuli through an anxiety hierarchy, pairing the exposure with the learned relaxation so the anxiety response decreases over time. This stepwise, structured method is what makes it a clear intervention technique aimed at changing behavior. Dream analysis and dream rehearsal come from psychodynamic or dream-focused approaches and aren’t standardized procedural techniques for behavioral change. Cognitive restructuring is a cognitive therapy technique centered on changing distorted thoughts, which belongs to a different therapeutic approach.
