Answer 1

Answer:

Her approach is best described as humanistic.

Explanation:

Psychologists who follow humanistic approach do not only observe the behaviour with their own eyes but also look at it through the eyes of the person seeking therapy. Such therapists believe that human behaviour has more to do with the hidden emotions and self-image. They put focus on the characteristics of humans that influence behaviour. For e.g. love, care, compassion, etc. This can also be seen in the case mentioned in the question where the therapist emphasized the importance of love and acceptance in life.
