Her therapist is using the _____________treatment model.

Answer 1

Answer:

Answer is sociocultural theory treatment model.

Explanation:

Sociocultural theory has been described as one of the important theories in psychology. This theory highlights impact of contributions the society make to people activities, outputs, or developments.  One of the aspects is education.

The sociocultural theory explained that learning is when there is social interaction between or among individuals. This shows that, the mental abilities of people are based on the social interaction and the culture they are in.
