One common therapy that uses the principles of these theories is aversion therapy. If a patient has a negative response to their behavior, they are less likely to continue the behavior, and eventually the behavior will become extinct. Using positive feedback can modify the behavior of a patient or client as well. There are several other therapy techniques that have built upon these theories, such as systematic desensitization, exposure therapies, and EMDR (Corey 2013). All of these techniques involve changing the behavior responses of the subjects and may not have been developed were it not for the work done by Pavlov and
