Read the case study and answer the five questions that follow:

Nikita and Ritika are twins. Nikita is intelligent. Friendly and popular among her friends. Rikita is shy, withdrawn and feels inferior to her sister. As a child, she felt her parents neglected her and was deeply hurt when they made comparisons. As she grew, these feelings of rejection were reinforced when teachers made statements like. "Look how well Nikita is doing! Why can't you be like her?" Ritika's feelings of rejection only strengthened with time. With the passage of time, Ritika was convinced that she is not good enough and would always be a failure in life.

Match List I with List II

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

The correct answer is Option (4) → A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV

• A. Behaviour therapy → III. Faulty learning. Behaviour therapy focuses on modifying maladaptive behaviours through principles of learning. Ritika’s avoidance and withdrawal may have resulted from learned associations due to repeated negative reinforcement and comparisons.

• B. Psychodynamic therapy → I. Unresolved childhood fears. This therapy emphasizes unconscious conflicts and childhood experiences. Ritika’s deep-seated feelings of rejection and inferiority stem from childhood experiences and comparisons with Nikita.

• C. Existential therapy → II. Feelings of loneliness and alienation. This approach deals with issues like meaninglessness, isolation, and personal responsibility. Ritika’s sense of alienation and inferiority aligns with this therapeutic focus.

• D. Cognitive therapy → IV. Faulty thinking. Cognitive therapy aims to change irrational and negative thought patterns. Ritika’s belief that she will "always be a failure" is an example of faulty cognition.
