Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 4

Rationale: The goal of cognitive-behavioral therapy is to change the way clients think and thus relieve the depressive syndrome. This is accomplished by assisting the client to identify and test negative cognition, develop alternative thinking patterns, and rehearse new cognitive and behav-ioral responses. Although some clients are treated with antidepressant medications, this is not a component of cognitive-behavioral therapy. The focus of this therapy is on the client, not the family.
