Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
RET therapists teach clients to conduct a kind of functional analysis of their own behaviors in which they examine the antecedent condition, or the cognition that precedes behaviors and results in self-statements. This model does not use punishment, mind control, or a redefinition of behavior expectations.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
EBP is the integration of research with clinical expertise in the context of the client's characteristics, culture, and preferences. EBP also includes a weighing of benefits against the risks and costs of treatment.
