Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The techniques are aspects of psychodynamic psychotherapy. The distracters use other techniques.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
The theory of interpersonal relationships recognizes the anxiety and depression as resulting from unmet interpersonal security needs. Behaviorism and classical conditioning theories do not apply. A psychosexual formulation would focus on uncovering unconscious material that relates to the patient problem.
