Definición

  • Sensitization refers to a behavioral treatment designed for myriad problem behaviors including alcohol and drugs as well as obesity, sexual deviance, delinquent behavior, stealing, and compulsions. Sensitization describes building up avoidance to an aversive stimulus, and covert distinguishes this treatment in that neither the stimulus nor the consequence is actually presented.
