postdoctoral training.
Transference - CORRECT ANSWERS-Psychoanalytic concept suggesting that clients
may seek to relate to the therapist as they do to important authority figures, particularly
their parents.
psychodynamic psychotherapy - CORRECT ANSWERS-Contemporary version of
psychoanalysis that still emphasizes unconscious processes and conflicts but is briefer

rather than the counselor, primarily directs the course of discussion, seeking self-
discovery and self-responsibility.
unconditional positive regard - CORRECT ANSWERS-Acceptance by the counselor of
the client's feelings and actions without judgment or condemnation.
behavioral model - CORRECT ANSWERS-Explanation of human behavior, including
dysfunction, based on principles of learning and adaptation derived from experimental
psychology.
classical conditioning - CORRECT ANSWERS-(Pavlov) an event that automatically
elicits a response is paired with another stimulus event that does not (a neutral
stimulus). After repeated pairings, the neutral stimulus becomes a conditioned stimulus
that by itself can elicit the desired response.
Extinction - CORRECT ANSWERS-Learning process in which a response maintained
by reinforcement in operant conditioning or pairing in classical conditioning decreases
when that reinforcement or pairing is removed
, collective unconscious - CORRECT ANSWERS-Accumulated wisdom of a culture
collected and remembered across generations, a psychodynamic concept introduced by
Carl Jung.
free association - CORRECT ANSWERS-Psychoanalytic therapy technique intended to

behavior that strengthen it or increase its frequency.
Shaping - CORRECT ANSWERS-In operant conditioning, the development of a new
response by reinforcing successively more similar versions of that response. Both
desirable and undesirable behaviors may be learned in this manner.
multidimensional integrative approach - CORRECT ANSWERS-Approach to the study
of psychopathology that holds psychological disorders are always the products of
multiple interacting causal factors.
Genes - CORRECT ANSWERS-Long deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecule, the basic
physical unit of heredity that appears as a location on a chromosome.
diathesis-stress model - CORRECT ANSWERS-Hypothesis that both an inherited
tendency and specific stressful conditions are required to produce a disorder.
Vulnerability - CORRECT ANSWERS-Susceptibility or tendency to develop a disorder.
gene-environment correlation model - CORRECT ANSWERS-Hypothesis that people
with a genetic predisposition for a disorder may also have a genetic tendency to create
environmental risk factors that promote the disorder.
