Avoiding public speaking because a client feels he is no good at it is an adaptive response. Further constructive consequences become unlikely when the client avoids public speaking. This reinforces the belief of being insufficient. Strongly believing this tends to increase the negativity. What kind of therapy involves helping clients develop skills for modifying beliefs, relating to others in different ways, identifying distorted thinking, and changing behaviors?
  1. Holistic therapy
  2. Psychotherapy
  3. Self-centered therapy
  4. Cognitive therapy
Explanation
Answer - D - Cognitive therapy addresses the way a client thinks and behaves in response to similar situations. Success is derived by developing more flexible ways to think and respond, including reducing the avoidance of activities. If a client escapes the negative thought patterns and dysfunctional behaviors, the feelings may be relieved over time.
