Supportive therapy aims to achieve which of the following?

• A. Maintain integrity of body functions during recovery
• B. Provide insight through dream analysis
• C. Eliminate symptoms with exposure therapy
• D. Correct faulty thinking patterns with cognitive restructuring.

Answer: (A)

Supportive therapy focuses on keeping the person functioning and coping well during recovery by providing empathetic support, reassurance, and practical help. It aims to maintain the integrity of body functions and daily functioning by reducing distress, promoting adherence to treatment, and helping with problem-solving and coping strategies. This approach centers on present needs and emotional support rather than exploring unconscious motivations (dream analysis), changing behavior through exposure to reduce symptoms, or restructuring faulty thoughts through cognitive techniques. Hence, the goal is to support overall functioning and resilience during the recovery process.
