Answer 1

The statement that is NOT a likely influence on the changes made to modern psychotherapy is:

Some psychologists wanted to focus strictly on case studies.

This is because modern psychotherapy generally seeks a broader understanding of human behavior and mental processes and often incorporates various methods beyond just case studies, including empirical research, observational studies, and application of theories. Focusing strictly on case studies would limit the scope and applicability of psychological findings.
