1. Social rhythm therapy
2. Dynamic psychotherapy
3. Neuromodulation therapy
4. Interpersonal psychotherapy
Answer: 2
Explanation: Dynamic psychotherapy focuses on increasing the patient's awareness of unconscious thoughts and emotions and developing an understanding of how certain events influence and control behaviors and feelings. The patient gains a greater understanding of self and an awareness of behaviors. Social rhythm therapy stresses maintenance of a regular daily schedule and stability of personal relationships. Neuromodulation therapies are aimed at modulating the neurotransmitters, neuroendocrine hormones, and brain structures responsible for mood regulation. Interpersonal psychotherapy focuses on improving communication, expressing affect appropriately, and renegotiating relationship roles.
