Question

Lexi cannot control her impulses to pull out her hair. Her friend paul suggests that she see a therapist and lexi agrees. She gets a referral from her primary care physician for a therapist and begins seeing dr. Clark four times a month. What kind of treatment does this describe?

Answer 1

Answer:

Voluntary

Explanation:

This is often the most successful kind of treatment, due to the simple fact that the person suffering from a disorder acknowledges that they are not well and want to make themselves better, but recognize that they require help from a professional.

Voluntary treatment along with support from friends and family allow for the patient to accept help while still being a part of their family (a larger society) so they do not feel isolated and are more likely to respond positively to treatment.
