Abstract: Aversive therapy has been used widely as one of the most effective ways of rehabilitating people who have been enslaved by addictive bad habits like gambling and alcohol. Classifying these habits is relative, but in the context of this paper, the habits are presented as ones that the patients want to ‘recover’ from, having tried all other rehabilitation means to no avail. Classical conditioning is a process of conditioning the body that is derived from the interaction of the natural stimulus that is in the body with the external or environmental stimulus. Through classical conditioning, the body is trained to respond in a particular specific way, and with time, this form of reaction gets so embedded into an individual that it will produce identical response whenever that stimulus is activated Geiser R [1].
