Answer to Question 1

A
Cognitive-behavioral therapy is self-oriented. The therapist is a coach or teacher who helps the client learn how to manage his or her own life. The client learns new tools for living life and dealing with life's challenges.

Answer to Question 2

B
Breach of taboo is one of the five categories of beliefs relating to the cause of mental illness. These beliefs are found particularly in less or non-industrialized societies, although they can also be seen, to a lesser extent, in segments of fully industrial societies. These five categories are not exclusive of one another. Some cultures have a combination of these five categories as a basis for their belief regarding the cause of mental illness.
