Answer to Question 1
Answer: In experimental research on psychotherapy, some clients are assigned to a no-treatment control group. These people are part of a waiting list, so they will receive psychotherapy at some future time. While waiting for therapy, people in no-treatment control groups often seek counseling and advice from family members, friends, or religious leaders. Thus, any improvement in their condition may not be due to spontaneous remission, but may be due to receiving informal psychological help.
Answer to Question 2
Answer: (1) There is considerable evidence that indicates that various drugs are safe and effective treatments for particular mental disorders.

(3) All drugs have side effects, which is one of the major reasons that many patients do not take their medications. (4) Many drugs must be taken for long periods of time. It may be necessary to take the drugs for months, years, or sometimes for a lifetime.
