A man with a debilitating fear of flying begins psychotherapy. The therapist first has him imagine airplanes while practicing relaxation techniques to manage his fear response. He then looks at photos of airplanes, later visits an airport to watch planes take off and land, and eventually boards a stationary plane while using the same techniques. The final step is a short round-trip flight, which he completes with little fear. Which therapy is described in this example?
