Paradoxical Intention is based on which of the following ?

  • A.Negative practice
  • B.Logo therapy
  • C.Existential therapy
  • D.Reciprocal inhibition

Answer: B

Paradoxical intention is based on logotherapy, the existential therapy of Viktor Frankl. The patient is asked to try to do, or even to exaggerate, the thing he fears, which breaks the cycle of anticipatory anxiety.

Negative practice is a behavioural technique of repeating the unwanted habit, and reciprocal inhibition is Wolpe's principle for systematic desensitisation. 'Existential therapy' is the wider school; the technique itself comes from logotherapy, the named answer.
