Suppose that you are a teaching assistant for Professor Leslie Laird, who teaches introductory psychology.  She wants you to devise five multiple-choice questions that will help her students learn the distinctions among several of the kinds of therapies.  You agree and submit the five questions.  She likes your questions, but turns them back to you because you forgot to indicate the correct answers.  Please indicate them for her below.

1. First used widely in the 1940s, this form of therapy involves inducing convulsions and seizures in the client.
1. ECT
2. Psychosurgery
3. Drug therapy
4. RET
2. The form of therapy in which the client is trained to relax in the presence of increasingly fear-eliciting stimuli is called:
1. Aversion therapy.
2. Behavior modification.
3. Systematic desensitization.
4. Psychodynamic therapy.
3. Jack is depressed and he soon finds himself in therapy.  His therapist seems to be focusing on the way Jack thinks about the events and people in his life.  In particular, this therapist is attending carefully to the logic upon which Jack bases his beliefs and perceptions of the world.  Jack’s therapist is probably using:
1. RET.
2. Cognitive therapy for depression.
3. Client-centered therapy.
4. Modeling therapy.
4. The form of therapy in which the therapist uses the client’s free association and transference reactions to learn about the client’s unconscious conflicts is referred to as:
1. Psychodynamic therapy.
2. Client-center therapy.
3. Cognitive therapy.
4. RET.
5. The best type of therapy is:
1. Psychoanalytic.
2. The one that works for you as an individual.
3. Successful only if the therapist considers you to be cured.
4. Likely to be the longest therapy (minimum of six months).
