Answer to Question 1

A, C, E, F
Information overload is a state of mind in which many facts have been absorbed and all become an unrelated clutter of stored information. This is a common phenomenon in today's society with the ease of obtaining new information from so many sources, such as the Internet.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, D
Cognitive therapists are active rather than passive during therapy sessions because they help a patient reality-test their thinking. Homework assignments are given and completed outside the therapy sessions. Homework is usually discussed at the next therapy session. The goal of cognitive therapy is to assist the patient in identifying inaccurate cognitions and in reality testing and formulating new, accurate cognitions. One distracter applies to psychoanalysis. Increasing subjectivity is not desirable.
