Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Cognitive techniques use examination of thought patterns and challenges to irrational or negative thoughts, so option 3 is correct. Option 1 is incorrect because childhood issues are usually not included in cognitive therapy. Options 2 and 4 are incorrect because group therapy and inclusion of family are not necessarily cognitive in nature.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
Of the options presented, option 1 is the only one that states an intended method and indicates immediacy and available means.
