Bud has been diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. he and his therapist are discussing what happened at school yesterday. bud's psychology professor surprised the class with a pop quiz. while bud had been doing well in class up until that point, he had not had a chance to do his reading because he worked until midnight the night before; therefore, he failed the pop quiz. bud's therapist asked him to share his thoughts about failing the pop quiz. bud replied, "i should have known we'd have a pop quiz. i should have stayed up after work or gotten up early this morning to do my reading. i know i will fail the class now! " bud's therapist retorted with, "why do you think you have the ability to predict what will happen? that is ridiculous. it is just a pop quiz. didn't you tell me that your professor drops a low score anyway? " his therapist continued on in this directive manner. based on this interaction, it seems likely that bud's therapist is providing him with :
o rational emotive behavior therapy.
o gestalt therapy
o beck's cognitive therapy.
o humanistic therapy.
