Ans: B
Cognitive–behavioral therapy combines the individual goals of cognitive therapy and behavioral therapy. Brief interpersonal therapy involves a semistructured, psychodynamically time-limited model of psychotherapy. Split-treatment psychotherapy involves a protocol between a nurse–therapist who provides psychotherapy and a psychiatrist or nurse practitioner who provides pharmacotherapy for the client. Solution-focused therapy focuses on helping clients construct solutions rather than solve problems, noting that change occurs all the time and individuals are capable of adapting and effecting change.
