A client tells the nurse, "I was the lone survivor in a small plane crash in which three of my business
associates were killed. I got anxious and depressed and saw a counselor three times a week for 4
weeks.
The therapist and I talked about my feelings about being a survivor. I'm OK now, back to
being my old self.". The nurse can correctly conclude that the type of therapy the client underwent
was
a. milieu therapy.
b. psychoanalysis.
c. behavior modification.
d. interpersonal psychotherapy.
ANS: D
Interpersonal psychotherapy returned the client to his former level of functioning by helping him
come to terms with the loss of friends and guilt over being a survivor. Option A: Milieu therapy
refers to environmental therapy. Option B: Psychoanalysis would call for a long period of
exploration of unconscious material. Option 3C: Behavior modification would focus on changing a
behavior rather than helping the client understand what is going on in his life.
