Ans: B
Linehan developed DBT for suicidal clients with a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. This therapy blends behavior therapy with treatment strategies that focus on acceptance and validation. E-therapy is online psychotherapy. Brief cognitive therapy encompasses the therapist assuming an active role while working with individuals to solve present-day problems by identifying distorted thinking that causes emotional discomfort, exploring alternate behaviors, and creating change. 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.
