Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
-Blockers such as propranolol are often effective in preventing symptoms of anxiety associated
with social phobias. Option A: Neuroleptics are major tranquilizers and not useful in treating social
phobias. Option C: Tricyclic antidepressants are rarely used because of their side-effect profile.
Option D: Monoamine oxidase inhibitors are used for depression and only by individuals who can
observe the special diet required.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cognitive therapy assists the client to identify automatic, negative beliefs that cause anxiety,
reevaluate the situation, and replace negative self-talk with supportive ideas. Option A: Analysis is
expensive, requires years of commitment, and may not be effective. Options B and D: Thought
stopping and response prevention are more useful to treat obsessive-compulsive disorder.
