A client has been diagnosed with depression after a series of visits to his primary care provider. Within the context of the behavioral theory of mood disorders, what factors may underlie the client's diagnosis?
 
  A) A perception that life's events are beyond his control, leading to feelings of helplessness and hopelessness
  B) A long-standing pattern of underachievement and public failure that causes him to feel shame
  C) A family history of inadequate coping skills, unresolved conflict, and fragmented communication that leads to feelings of isolation
  D) A belief that there is ultimately no higher meaning to life, leading to feelings of fatalism and resignation

Ans: A
Behavioral theorists regard mood disorders as a form of acquired or learned behavior.
Clients possess a perception that situations or events are their own fault and are beyond their control and that nothing can be done to change them. This perception promotes feelings of helplessness and hopelessness. Behavioral theory does not emphasize the role of family history, failure, or fatalism, though each may accompany or contribute to mood disorders.
