d. Confirm your choices: Refer to the section "Matching Your Goals and Problems with Most Promising Therapies" that follows Table 1. In that section, read the corresponding short descriptions of the one or two goals or problems you checked in Table 1 and ask yourself whether, in fact, these accurately apply to you. For example, if you checked §7 in Table 1, then read the corresponding §7 in "Matching Your Goals and Problems with Most Promising Therapies."
e. If, after doing this, you continue to believe that the goals or problems you checked relate to you, make a record of the therapy letter codes given at the end of each description. You will find that occasionally letter codes are divided into two groups: those judged to be generally more effective (called "primary"), and a set of alternatives ("secondary"). Now go directly to Step 2. On the other hand, if you come to feel that the goals or problems you checked really do not apply to you, go back to Table 1 and consider other alternatives.
STEP 2. SELF-UNDERSTANDING:
IDENTIFYING APPROPRIATE THERAPIES
a. Read through Table 2 (page 79).
b. Check the personal qualities that seem best to describe you.
c. Choose one or two of these that are the most significant to you.
d. Confirm your self-understanding: Refer to the section "Matching Your Personality with the Most Promising Therapies" following Table 2. Read the short descriptions of the one or two personal qualities you checked and respond to the questions you will find there.
e. If, after doing this, you believe that the personal qualities you checked in Table 2 do, in fact, describe you accurately, make a record of the therapy letter codes given at the end of the questions. Now go directly to Step 3. If, on the other hand, judging from your responses to the questions you answered, you do not feel that the personal qualities you checked are true of you, return to Table 2 and consider other alternatives.
