Answer 1

Answer:

B. Dr. Gates is a proponent of the psychoanalitic perspective, and Dr. Maru is a proponent of the behavioral perspective.

Explanation:

The psychoanalitic perspective proposes a view in which the subject (the person) is mainly affected by its behavior, emotions and all the inside factsors that the person has, which is linked to the point of view of Dr. Gates who believes that depression is a result of feeling of loss or anger (all this inside them)

On the other hand, the behavioral perspective focuses on the daily life aspects of the person, what he does or doesn´t, which is linked with Dr.Maru´s perspective in which she says that stresses in people´s lives reduce positive reinforcements nad cause withdrawal (daily activities that are considered stresses)
