For the past year, Otto has been experiencing intrusive thoughts about harming his neighbors. Because he fears he will one day act in accordance with these thoughts, Otto avoids contact with others, staying home most hours of the day. If Otto seeks therapy, how would a cognitive-behavioral therapist versus a humanist therapist approach Ottos presenting concerns?
a. A cognitive-behavioral therapist will claim that Ottos intrusive beliefs stem from incongruence between his true feelings about his neighbors and his socially appropriately feelings about his neighbors.
b. A humanist therapist will use warmth, empathy, and acceptance to guide Otto toward actualization of not harming his neighbors.
c. A cognitive behavioral therapist will encourage Otto to sing his intrusive thoughts out loud to see if they cause the same level of fear.
d. A humanist therapist will explore the role of the fear Otto is experiencing in relation to thinking about harming his neighbors.
e. A cognitive-behavioral therapist will assign Otto homework to test his harming neighbors hypothesis by having him identify what might happen if he were to walk around his neighborhood and say hello to neighbors that pass by him.
f. A humanist therapist will rely on techniques of warmth, empathy, and acceptance and let Otto direct the therapeutic process.
g. A cognitive-behavioral therapist would ask Otto to track the triggering situations for his intrusive thoughts and his subsequent emotional response.
h. A humanist therapist might validate the commonness of Ottos violent thoughts and then challenge him to replace them with more empathic thoughts for his neighbors
