Ali is being treated for a shoe fetish. the therapist pairs electric shock with the sight and touch of shoes. the therapist also is teaching ali to engage in appropriate social skills and how to feel sexual pleasure without resorting to shoes. the therapist probably supports which approach to treatment?

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with a touch of classical conditioning is probably what the therapist is trying to do in order to desensitize Ali's erotic reaction to the sight of shoes. The therapist teaching Ali to engage in appropriate social skills and feel sexual pleasure without shoes also suggests CBT.
