The correct answer is option 4: None of the given statement is correct.

Statement 1: Similar to psychodynamic therapy, cognitive therapy focuses on solving a specific problem of the client. This is incorrect. Cognitive therapy is similar to behaviour therapy, not psychodynamic therapy, because it focuses on solving specific problems of the client. Psychodynamic therapy mainly focuses on unconscious conflicts and past experiences.

Statement 2: Unlike behaviour therapy, psycho-dynamic therapy is open, i.e. the therapist shares her/his method with the client. This is incorrect.  This statement is also incorrect. It is exactly the opposite — behaviour therapy is open, meaning the therapist shares the method with the client, unlike psychodynamic therapy.
