Accepted Answer

The concept of authenticity in person-centered therapy requires the therapist to act in a genuine and transparent way, rather than hiding behind the role of therapist. This means being honest and open with the client, showing one's true self, and avoiding any pretense or facade. Authenticity is an important aspect of building trust and rapport with clients.

Question 7

The use of antianxiety drugs to treat anxiety disorders is gradually being phased out in favor of treatment with __________ drugs.&#10;A)antidepressant&#10;B)antimanic&#10;C)antipsychotic&#10;D)sedative

Accepted Answer

Research has shown that antidepressants have better long-term outcomes for treating anxiety disorders than antianxiety drugs. Antidepressants work to increase the levels of neurotransmitters that regulate mood, including serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine, which can help alleviate symptoms of anxiety. Antimanic drugs are used to treat bipolar disorder, antipsychotics are used to treat psychotic disorders, and sedatives may be used for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms but are not considered a primary treatment for anxiety disorders.

Question 8

Megan was afraid of dogs.She wanted to get over this fear,so she began by thinking about seeing a dog but staying calm.Then she walked past her neighbor's dog in its fenced yard until she no longer felt afraid.Next,she visited a pet store and petted a dog while the salesclerk held it.Finally,she bought herself a puppy and was no longer afraid.Megan's method is most like __________.

A)systematic desensitization.
B)aversion therapy.
C)flooding.
D)extinction.

Accepted Answer

Megan's method of gradually exposing herself to dogs while remaining calm and ultimately getting a puppy is an example of systematic desensitization, which involves gradually exposing the individual to the feared object or situation until they are no longer afraid. Aversion therapy involves associating a negative experience with the feared object or situation, flooding involves overwhelming the individual with the feared object or situation, and extinction involves ceasing to reinforce a behavior to make it go away. None of these methods fit Megan's approach as well as systematic desensitization.
