What is the general approach to treating contraversive pusher syndrome?

Encouraging pushing to the paretic side for muscle strengthening

Avoiding pushing back and providing frequent redirection (correct)

Using aggressive physical therapy techniques

Administering strong medications to reduce pushing behavior
