Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dallas' negative and unrealistic beliefs about himself suggest that cognitive restructuring may be helpful in changing these thought patterns. Client-centred therapy may also be beneficial as it emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and support in exploring and resolving personal problems. However, applied behaviour analysis and psychoanalysis may not be as useful in addressing Dallas' negative self-beliefs.
