Sullivan's interpersonal theory focusing on the client's relationships with others and modes of interacting with others is most similar to the theory developed by:
1. Emil Kraepelin.
2. Karl Menninger.
3. B. F. Skinner.
4. Sigmund Freud.
2
Rationale: Menninger viewed normal personality functioning and psychopathology in terms of general systems theory, a school of interpersonal theory. Skinner's work is associated with cognitive behaviorist treatment not interpersonal approaches. Kraepelin's descriptive diagnostic classification system was the first comprehensive medical model and the basis of psychobiological theories. Sigmund Freud's emphasis was on intrapsychic rather than interpersonal processes.
