Behavior therapy is focused on helping the client to recognize how a change in behavior can produce a change in how they are feeling, internally. A common technique used when starting behavior therapy is self-monitoring. An example of self-monitoring is:
  1. A client with anorexia journaling on a daily basis
  2. A client with anorexia recording each time he or she has a negative body image thought
  3. A client with anorexia participating eating a meal and recording how he or she feels afterwards
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - Behavioral therapists often assign self-monitoring as a therapeutic homework assignment for clients. Self-monitoring enables the client to observe his or her own behavior. This is beneficial as it can illustrate the magnitude of the behavior (including the amount of time spent on the behavior), and the resulting positive or negative effects. Self-monitoring can also help the individual identify patterns of behavior, allowing for implementation of other coping strategies during those times (if necessary).
