Answer to Question 1

 Psychodynamic  problems are caused by unresolved and unconscious issues related to development; treatment  bring those unconscious issues to the surface and resolve them
 Behavioral  behaviors have been learned and are reinforced; treatment  understand what is reinforcing Mary's avoidance and anxiety and change the consequences to change the behavior
 Humanist  Mary's behaviors are a result of interference with or suppression of her natural tendencies to develop a sense of herself; treatment  discover Mary's resources and use those to help her become self-directed and whole
 Family  problems are caused by family problems and can also impact how the family functions; treatment would be to first understand family dynamics and treat not only the child but also the family
