Answer to Question 1

B
Thought stopping uses techniques such as rubber band snapping, saying stop aloud, and stomping one's foot to interrupt obsessive thinking. Option A: Modeling involves the therapist acting as a role model to demonstrate an appropriate behavior. Option B: Flooding exposes a patient to a large amount of a feared stimulus in an effort to extinguish the anxiety response. Option C: Desensitization involves gradual exposure to a feared stimulus.

Answer to Question 2

B
Acupuncture is a form of biofield therapy, which is a form of energy medicine. Aromatherapy is a CAM that is a biologically based practice. Nicotine patches would be considered allopathic, and group therapy is socioculturally based therapy.
