Question 2

A significant challenge confronting all psychotherapies is the problem of relapse for therapy responders, particularly for disorders like depression.

a. rates of relapse were reduced markedly, up to 66. b. rates of relapse were reduced by up to 29.
c. rates of relapse were comparable to non-continuation forms of the therapy.
d. rates of relapse were paradoxically increased due to enhanced patient dependency on the therapist.
