Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The approach described includes teaching methods to prevent relapse and cope with high-risk situations, which is the focus of relapse prevention training. Self-control training (A) may be a component of this approach, but it does not fully capture the focus on preventing relapse. Skills training (B) is a broad term that could potentially encompass relapse prevention techniques, but it is not specific enough to be the best choice. The abstinence violation effect (D) is a phenomenon that can occur during relapse, but it is not a treatment approach.
