Answer to Question 1

Bedlam
Bedlam was the nickname for Bethlehem Hospital, which prevented burning of mentally ill people at the stake but provided poor care for the mentally ill.

Answer to Question 2

The continuation phase is the second phase of therapy for clients with depression. Working together to try to reduce symptoms occurs during the acute phase of treatment. Determining the cause of depression and preventing future depression most likely are not possible.
