Therapy Matching Solution

Matching Key Psychotherapies with Theorists

This question requires matching four distinct therapeutic approaches with their principal developers or influential figures.

• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT): Primarily developed by Marsha Linehan. This leads to the match A-III.
• Reality Therapy: Founded by William Glasser. This corresponds to the match B-I.
• Existential Psycho Therapy: While a broad field, its philosophical roots include figures like Kierkegaard. This match is C-II.
• Solution Focused Therapy: Developed mainly by Steve de Shazer and Insoo Kim Berg. This aligns with D-IV.

Correct Combination

Combining these matches gives the correct pairing:

A. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - III. Marsha Linehan

B. Reality Therapy - I. Glasser

C. Existential Psycho Therapy - II. Kierkegaard

D. Solution focused Therapy - IV. Shazer

Thus, the correct sequence is A-III, B-I, C-II, D-IV.
