Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: Rational emotive therapy (RET) was originated by Albert Ellis (1975) and emphasizes cognitive causes of emotional problems along with the importance of taking personal responsibility for maintaining health-damaging thought habits and irrational beliefs. An irrational belief is a belief that lacks reason and sound judgment. The clinician who is skilled in RET helps identify irrational thought structures with the client and then helps develop a plan to substitute more rational personal life philosophies and attitudes based on accurately perceived realities (Ellis, 1997). Healthy emotional consequences occur when rational thinking drives adequate functional behaviors. Identifying health-damaging beliefs and cognitive causes for rational beliefs are not the goals of RET.

Answer to Question 2

1,4,5
Rationale: Constant motor activity and movement are mania symptoms. Pressured speech is talking continuously which is a mania symptom. Flight of ideas is moving from one topic to another and is also a mania symptom. Feeling worthless and isolating are depressive symptoms.
