What form of psychotherapy focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of a patient?

Cognitive-behavioral therapy
Group therapy
Psychodynamic therapy
Existential therapy

The correct answer is: Cognitive-behavioral therapy

Cognitive-behavioral therapy (A) focuses on the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of a patient. Psychodynamic therapy (C) focuses more on a patient's unconscious thoughts and past experiences, while existential therapy (D) focuses on the patient's search for meaning and purpose in life. Group therapy (B) is a form of therapy that involves a small group of individuals working together with a therapist, rather than focusing solely on one patient's thoughts and feelings. Therefore, A is the best answer as it directly matches what the question is asking for.
