Answer to Question 1

B
Waxy flexibility is the ability to hold distorted postures for extended periods of time, as though the patient were molded in wax. Echopraxia involves the patient assuming the positions or postures he observes in others. Depersonalization is a sensation of unreality wherein some aspect of the self seems distorted or unreal. Thought withdrawal refers to a belief that thoughts are being removed from one's mind.

Answer to Question 2

D
The characteristics described are those of cognitive-behavioral therapy, in which patients learn to reframe dysfunctional thoughts and extinguish maladaptive behaviors. Behavioral therapy focuses solely on changing behavior rather than thoughts, feelings, and behaviors together. Interpersonal theory focuses on interactions and relationships. Psychodynamic groups focus on developing insight to resolve unconscious conflicts.
