A weakness of the behavioural explanation for phobias?

-Ignores the role of cognition -Behaviours may develop through irrational thinking, not jsust learning through avoidance and assocation. Eg: clautrophobic people may think 'I am going to get trapped and suffocate in the lift' which is an irrational thought not taken into account. -The cognitive approach has lead to CBT, a more succesful treatment compared to the behaviourist treatments -Means that the 2 process model does not completely explain, as well as treat, phobias as well.
