Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
Psychotherapy is a process by which a person with professional skills uses evidence-based procedures rooted in empirically supported theories to help clients make adaptive changes in their lives. It is not synonymous with psychoanalysis and it goes beyond simple behavior modification. Its use is not restricted to Axis I disorders.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Psychiatry involves evidence-based and rational prescribing of a wide array of psychotropic medications to treat psychiatric disorders. The other listed activities would not likely fall under the purview of the psychiatrist.

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water.
