Question: Identify the comparative benchmark that psychotherapy treatments must meet to be validated as empirically supported treatments. Additionally, recall and state four specific pairings of psychotherapies and their validated target disorders as listed in the provided text.
Sample answer: According to the text, empirically supported psychotherapies must prove to be just as effective as standard pharmacological therapies. Four validated pairings from the text are: 1) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for depression and eating disorders, 2) Exposure Therapy for post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias, 3) Exposure therapy with response prevention for obsessive-compulsive disorder, and 4) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for anxiety.
Key points:
- Psychotherapies must prove just as effective as standard pharmacological therapies.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is validated for depression and eating disorders.
- Exposure Therapy is validated for post-traumatic stress disorder and phobias.
- Exposure therapy with response prevention is validated for obsessive-compulsive disorder.
- Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is validated for anxiety.
Rubric: Grading Rubric: - 2 points: Explains the benchmark that the psychotherapies are just as effective as standard pharmacological therapies. - 4 points: Correctly identifies four psychotherapy-disorder pairings from the text (1 point per pairing).
