In behavioral therapy, once the problem behaviors have been clearly described, a baseline can be obtained, reflecting the severity and frequency of the behaviors before treatment. What do both the client and clinician need to decide so that this can be done?

  1. How to measure the behavior
  2. Ways to record the measurement
  3. How the client feels about the behavior
  4. All of the above
Explanation

Answer: D - The client and clinician need to agree on how to measure the behavior and ways to record the measurement. Two of the most common methods of measuring behavior are frequency and severity.
