Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Cognitivebehavioral therapy combines the individual goals of cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. Brief interpersonal therapy involves a semistructured, psychodynamically time-limited model of psychotherapy. Split-treatment psychotherapy involves a protocol between a nursetherapist who provides psychotherapy and a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner who provides pharmacotherapy for the client. Solution-focused therapy focuses on helping clients construct solutions rather than solve problems, noting that change occurs all the time and individuals are capable of adapting and effecting change.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Linehan developed DBT for suicidal clients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. This therapy blends behavior therapy with treatment strategies that focus on acceptance and validation. E-therapy is online psychotherapy. Brief cognitive therapy encompasses the therapist assuming an active role while working with individuals to solve present-day problems by identifying distorted thinking that causes emotional discomfort, exploring alternate behaviors, and creating change. Split-treatment psychotherapy involves a protocol between a nursetherapist who provides psychotherapy and a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner who provides pharmacotherapy for the client.
