A Comparison of Verbal Satiation and Minimal Arousal Conditioning to Reduce Deviant Arousal in the Laboratory

Steven R. Gray

Psychological and Consulting Services

Two groups of incarcerated inmates were assessed by means of plethysmography and treated with two methods to reduce tested deviant arousal. Group 1 completed a variation of minimal arousal conditioning which included masturbating to ejaculation to an appropriate audio tape and then administering ammonia when aroused to a subsequent tape of their deviant interest. Group 2 was exposed to a variation of masturbatory satiation followed by minimal arousal conditioning (as above). Clients were tested by plethysmography following each course of treatment. Percentage arousal was subjected to Mann-Whitney U tests of significance. Analysis revealed minimal arousal conditioning to be an effective method in reducing deviant arousal.

Key Words: sexual offending • conditioning techniques • olfactory conditioning • satiation techniques.
