Question

Please explain the answers for 1a & 1b in detail

1. Identify the psychotherapeutic orientation that each of the following scenarios typifies. Response options include client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, group therapy, and psychodynamic therapy. a. Allen seeks therapy to help him cope with social anxiety and panic attacks. During a review of Allen's thought records from the previous week, Allen's therapist says, "Allen I see you had one panic attack last week during one of your attempts to socialize. Ona scale of O to 10 in severity, you rated the panic attack an 8. Tell me about the thoughts you had just before and during the attack. This will help us understand what triggered your panic attack." b. During a therapy session, Carlos's therapist says, "Carlos, you've described feeling angry toward your wife when she asks how you're dealing with your father's death. I sensed frustration and anger toward me when I asked you about his death just a moment ago. Usually anger covers more uncomfortable feelings, like hurt, pain, and anguish. If you put your anger aside for a moment, what emotion comes to the surface?"

Explanation / Answer

A. This typifies the cognitive-behavioral therapy. This is because the ABC (antecedent-behavior-consequence) technique is being used.

B. This typifies psychodynamic therapy. This is because transference is being used to probe deeper into the client's feelings.
