Case Study

Develop a case study of a fictitious client who is seeking counseling for a substance abuse. Distinguish how a classical conditioning and instrumental conditioning approach to the client would differ in regards to the possible outcomes in the situation. Describe the therapeutic techniques of conditioning. How would you apply this technique in treating the client? Give an example of the steps you would take in applying this method. Discuss the settings and client characteristics that might make this method of treatment difficult or less effective.
