E STIMULI
Stimulation
Allows the client to try out a given alternative without risk or
commitment.
For example, a childless couple ambivalent about the prospect of
having children might acquire invaluable discriminative stimuli from
weekend babysitting experiences or the temporary placement of a
foster child in their home.
Modelling
Exposing potential consequences and probabilities the client does not
