Assertion: In the behavioural therapies, the therapist provides a warm, empathic relationship in which the client feels secure to explore the nature and causes of her/ his problems by herself/himself.

Reasoning: The behaviour therapy considers changing faulty behaviour and thought patterns to adaptive ones as the chief benefit of the treatment.

Assertion (A) is not true but Reasoning (R) is correct.

The existential therapies place less emphasis on the therapist as a problem solver. Instead, the therapist provides a warm, empathic relationship that creates a secure environment for the client to independently explore the nature and causes of their problems.

In behavior therapy, the therapist is seen as capable of identifying faulty behavior and thought patterns in the client. They are responsible for finding and implementing appropriate and adaptive behavior and thought patterns for the client's benefit.

Behavior therapy focuses on changing faulty behavior and thought patterns into adaptive ones as the chief benefit of treatment. By establishing healthier behavior and thought patterns, distress is reduced, and symptoms are alleviated.
