Question

Ronia Pearson · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : C, Explanation :  The professor's emphasis on the interplay among physical reactions to medication, positive expectations, and social support highlights the importance of multiple factors in influencing mental health, representing a biopsychosocial approach to therapy. This approach recognizes the interconnection between biological, psychological, and social factors in shaping mental health and emphasizes the need to address all of these factors in treatment. The other options (psychodynamic, biomedical, and operant conditioning) do not encapsulate the multiplicity of factors emphasized by the professor's approach.
