Joseph Wolpe's theory, known as systematic desensitization, suggests that fears and phobias can be treated by gradually exposing individuals to anxiety-provoking stimuli while teaching relaxation techniques to reduce anxiety responses. By pairing relaxation with the feared stimulus in a hierarchical manner, individuals can eventually re-associate the feared stimulus with relaxation rather than fear. This process aims to create a new, non-anxious response to the previously feared situation.
