Multiple Choice

A psychologist has a meeting with a student who appears to have a drinking problem. Rather than confronting the student about this problem (something that often drives students away) , the therapist provides feedback about how typical the student's drinking behaviour is compared to the average college student and points out possible discrepancies between the student's current and ideal behaviours with regard to this behaviour. This therapist is most likely:

• A) attempting to use the principles of positive reinforcement to induce change.
• B) conducting a motivational interview.
• C) preparing to use aversive conditioning techniques.
• D) using a humanistic approach to substance abuse.
