Modeling has been used successfully for each of the following except to ________.

A) help people overcome snake phobias
B) teach job skills to people with mental retardation
C) help alcoholic individuals reduce or eliminate their drinking
D) help people with mental retardation learn living skills

Modeling, a technique often used in behavioral therapy, involves learning through observation and imitation. While it has been successfully applied to help people overcome phobias, such as snake phobias (A), and to teach both job skills and living skills to individuals with mental retardation (B and D), its effectiveness in treating substance abuse disorders, including alcoholism, is not as straightforward or well-documented. Other approaches, such as cognitive-behavioral therapy and medication, are more commonly associated with treating alcoholism.
