Guidelines followed by the leader of a therapeutic group include focusing on recognizing dysfunctional behavior and thinking patterns, followed by identifying and practicing more adaptive alternate behaviors and thinking. Which theory is evident by this approach?

Correct Answer: D

Rationale: The correct answer is D: Cognitive-behavioral. This approach emphasizes the connection between thoughts, behaviors, and emotions. By focusing on recognizing dysfunctional behavior and thinking patterns and practicing more adaptive alternatives, the leader is applying cognitive restructuring and behavioral techniques, which are central to cognitive-behavioral theory. Choice A (Behavioral) focuses solely on observable behaviors without addressing thoughts. Choice B (Interpersonal) emphasizes relationships rather than cognitive restructuring. Choice C (Psychodynamic) focuses on unconscious processes and childhood experiences, not the explicit cognitive and behavioral changes seen in the given approach.

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: Commitment laws changed in the early 1970s, making it more difficult to commit people for mental health treatment against their will. Deinstitutionalization accomplished the release of individuals from long-term stays in state institutions. Deinstitutionalization also had negative effects in that some mentally ill persons are subjected to the revolving door effect, which may limit care for mentally ill persons.

Correct Answer: C

Rationale: Although people with severe and persistent mental illness have shorter hospital stays, they are admitted to hospitals more frequently. Although deinstitutionalization reduced the number of public hospital beds by 80%, the number of admissions to those beds correspondingly increased by 90%. The number of individuals with mental illness did not change.
