In addition to Medical and Inpatient approaches, which other approach is listed as a therapeutic approach?

• A. Educational approach
• B. Behavioral approach
• C. Cognitive-behavioral approach
• D. Psychodynamic approach

Answer: (A)

Educational approach centers on teaching and information-sharing as a therapeutic tool. It involves psychoeducation—giving clients and their families clear information about the condition, treatment options, medications, coping strategies, and resources—so they can understand what’s happening, participate actively in care, and make informed decisions. This empowers individuals to manage symptoms, adhere to treatment plans, and apply skills in daily life, extending healing beyond the clinical setting. That’s why it’s listed as a therapeutic approach alongside Medical and Inpatient care.

The other modalities focus more on changing thoughts, behaviors, or exploring unconscious processes, rather than prioritizing education and practical skills. This makes educational approaches the most fitting choice given the framing of the question.
