Behaviour therapy exposes the patient to situations that they fear, it is but not a very effective therapy as the patient compliance is low and the patient tends to get more anxious.

Cognitive Therapy
The patient's are made to examine their thought process and differentiate, for themselves the harmful and unwanted thought patterns, so that they can gradually change their process of thinking and thus overcome their fears.

Cognitive - Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
The most effective of the treatments, this therapy usually combines two types of psychotherapy: cognitive therapy and behaviour therapy.

It is conducted with a basic goal being able to rid the patient of unwanted responses and to learn new ways of reacting to situations.
