1. D. Congruence is associated with client centered
therapy. Gestalt therapy is a type of therapy
used to deepen our awareness of ourselves and our feelings in a less
intellectual manner than the more traditional forms of therapy.
"Gestalt" means the whole; it implies wholeness. In any
experience or interaction there are feelings in the foreground and in the
background. The individual perceives the environment as a total unit;
he/she responds to the whole of what is seen and this whole is composed of the
stimuli of which the person is aware or to which he/she attends, the
"spontaneous concentration" of contact (the figure) and those of
which the person is not aware or does not attend (the ground). The
figure/ground process is perceptual and changes momentarily.
2.
2. B Its essential to clarify boundaries with all clients. Many borderline personality disorder clients are starving for parental nurturing and affection. ... For example, to nurture a child without boundaries of security and safety.
3. C the best answer is to focus on the presenting problem. We must respect the Clint's right to privacy and given clients response she doesn't seem ready to address the possible domestic violence.
4. C In spite of successful antipsychotic drug treatment, many people with schizophrenia have difficulty with motivation, activities of daily living, relationships, and communication. Also, since the illness typically begins during the years critical to education and professional training, people with schizophrenia often lack social and work skills and experience. In these cases, the psychosocial treatments can be especially important. Many useful therapies have been developed to assist people suffering from schizophrenia and include: Supportive therapy. Rehabilitation, family education, self help groups
5. C Mimesis: The paralleling of a family’s mood or behavior, which solidifies a therapeutic alliance. For example, a therapist may talk slowly with a slow-talking family or be animated with an animated family.
Joining: An accommodating maneuver in which the therapist establishes rapport with family members and temporarily becomes part of the family system. The family accepts the therapist more openly, thus enhancing the therapist’s ability to being about change.
Enactment: The acting out of dysfunctional transactional patterns within the family therapy session, encouraged by the therapist. Through setting up these transactions in the present, the therapist learns much about the family’s structure and interactional patterns. The therapist is then able to intervene in the process by increasing its intensity, indicating alternative transactions, marking boundaries, and so forth. The therapist may also have the family enact more positive transactional patterns within the therapy session, which will serve as a template for more positive interactions outside therapy.
Restructuring: Any therapeutic intervention that confronts and challenges a family and facilitates structural changes. Examples of restructuring maneuvers include assigning tasks, shifting power systems, escalating stress, and marking boundaries.
All these interventions are manipulative in nature. It's meant to Unbalance the family thus interfering with the homeostasis of the family system.
6. A Stemming from the concept of structure is the concept of boundaries. Boundaries describe the patterned transactions between members of a system to the exclusion of others. The SFT therapist posits that a functional organization within the family must have appropriate boundaries between subsystems: the parental, the siblings, the family unit as a whole, and the individual.
Assessment of structure are gauged against developmental norms. Enmeshment is the inappropriate closeness of family members against a backdrop, of course, of developmental appropriateness. The term disengaged is used when there is too much distance between family members.
7. B. The client's presenting problem is the most important issue for the client. You should always start where client is and allow the client's needs to drive the intervention. If you respond to something that is not important to the client the client can perceive you as not interested I. Their concerns and may not continue to seek help.
8. C. Albert Ellis' approach to cognitive therapy, sees disturbances as a result of irrational beliefs that guide people's interpretation of events.
9. D. Though several answers appears good, we are provided with limited information. The only thing we know is that the client is a gay teenager. There is no listing of problems and we have no way of knowing what this client needs. However, A,B,C are incorrect because there were no problems or maladaptive behaviors noted in the question.
10. D. Oral stage is from 0-2 years old. Newborn babies are initially limited to sucking and drinking. Their sexual instinctual drive is therefore focused around the mouth, initially in passive sucking and chewing. Later, pleasure is derived from more aggressive biting and chewing. Fixations, which persist beyond each developmental stage are manifested through the oral stage as thumb sucking or cigarette smoking.
A is incorrect because A child 2-4 years old is in the Anal stage and the primary task is toilet training. Fixation at the anal stage leads to anal retentive (person who pays such attention to detail that the obsession becomes an annoyance to others, potentially to the detriment of the anal-retentive person. The term derives from Freudian psychoanalysis.) or "anal expressive , the expressive period, in which the child derives pleasure in expelling feces, and the retentive period, in which they derive pleasure from storing it. The anal stage coincides with toilet training in the child, and is marked by ‘conflicts with parents about compliance and defiance’

11. A The heart of TA is the idea that our
behaviour is governed by a life-script, a set of rules that govern the way we
behave in different situations. In extreme cases the life-script may run to a
final scene: it will include a set of circumstances that would cause us to want
to die. Scripts also include positive components about situations that make us
feel loved and valued. We each write our own life-script during our early
childhood. It is largely complete by the time we are seven years old.
