To treat Zoe’s anorexia nervosa, her doctors put her on intravenous feeding tubes, tried to change her irrational belief that she was too fat, and discussed how her early family relationships may have contributed to her current problems. This approach would best be classified as

(A) cognitive behavioral.
(B) biological.
(C) psychodynamic.
(D) eclectic.
(E) humanistic.

(D) eclectic.
