Multiple Choice

Use the following to answer questions
Scenario I
Some common psychotherapies are psychoanalysis,person-centered therapy,behavioral therapy,and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) .Through techniques such as free-association,analysis of dreams and slips,interpretation,and analysis of resistance,psychoanalysts attempt to bring the unconscious forces responsible for the disorder into the consciousness where it can be effectively resolved.At the core of person-centered therapies is the belief that all individuals have an innate tendency toward growth and that this growth can be facilitated by acceptance and genuine reactions by the therapist.Treatment is usually nondirective,as therapists believe individuals themselves are best qualified to set their own treatment goals.Behavior therapies,on the other hand,can be highly structured and assume that a learning component contributes to many psychological disorders.Principles of classical conditioning,such as extinction,can be used to eliminate unwanted emotional responses to specific objects or situations.Principles of operant conditioning,such as positive reinforcement,can be used to establish more desirable behaviors.Cognitive therapies also are structured and systematically examine and correct the distorted thinking that gives rise to many psychological disorders.Finally,cognitive behaviorial therapy (CBT) is a problem-focused combination of cognitive and behavior therapies that has shown to be effective at treating a wide range of psychological disorders.
