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 Rikita is shy, withdrawn and feels inferior to her sister.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.

Which of the following is NOT correct about the given psychotherapies.

In behaviour therapy the focus is on the past, the present is irrelevant

The correct answer is Option (3) → In behaviour therapy the focus is on the past, the present is irrelevant

In behaviour therapy, the focus is primarily on present behaviour and how it can be modified through learning principles (like conditioning). The past is not the main focus, making the given statement incorrect.

• In psychodynamic therapy, the therapist is an interpreter – This is correct. The therapist interprets unconscious conflicts and past experiences.

• In existential therapy, the therapist is a facilitator – Correct. The therapist helps the client find meaning and take responsibility for choices.

• Psychodynamic therapy is the oldest therapy – Also correct. The psychodynamic model is the oldest and most famous of the modern psychological models.
