Answer to Question 1

Ans: A, B, D, E
Behavior therapy encompasses assertiveness training, desensitization, role-playing, and self-management training. Pharmacotherapy would not be included as part of behavior therapy in itself.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Resistance is the conscious or unconscious psychological defense against bringing repressed thoughts into conscious awareness during psychotherapy. Examples of resistance include remaining silent for a long period of time, being late for a therapy session, or missing appointments. Expressed skepticism about the counseling process is a more conscious manifestation of resistance.
