Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The guided discovery technique has been successful with clients who have depression or anger-control problems (Rickelman and Houfek, 1995). In this approach, clinicians use specific learning experiences to teach clients how to recognize the connection between their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors; identify and replace automatic negative thinking with positive thinking; and substitute dysfunctional expectations and appraisals with reality-based interpretations.
