Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Functional analysis is the process of investigating the environmental factors surrounding a client's behavior to determine what maintains it. This can help to uncover how the client's interpersonal environment may be contributing to their behavioral deficits. A is incorrect because behavior analysis refers to the scientific study of behavior. B is incorrect because problem analysis does not necessarily include an investigation into the client's interpersonal environment. D is incorrect because intersubjective psychoanalysis is a particular theoretical approach to psychoanalysis that focuses on the relationship between the patient and therapist, and does not necessarily involve a focus on the client's interpersonal environment outside of therapy.
