Aversion therapy is a behavioral treatment that aims to reduce an unwanted behavior by pairing it with an unpleasant or uncomfortable experience. It works by creating a negative association, for example pairing an unpleasant stimulus with cigarette-related cues for someone trying to quit smoking, which over time discourages the targeted behavior.
