Question 1

According to Freud,the ___________ of the dream refers to the client's memory of the things,people,and events in the dream.&#10;A)manifest content&#10;B)free association&#10;C)latent content&#10;D)resistance

Accepted Answer

The manifest content of a dream refers to the client's memory or the actual content of the dream that they can recall, including people, events, and objects. This is in contrast to the latent content, which refers to the underlying, symbolic meaning of the dream that the client may not initially be aware of. Free association is a technique used in psychoanalysis where clients freely associate words or ideas with a given topic or concept. Resistance refers to a client's unconscious attempts to avoid discussing certain topics or memories in therapy.

Question 2

The use of antianxiety drugs to treat anxiety disorders is gradually being phased out in favor of treatment with _______________ drugs.&#10;A)antidepressant&#10;B)antimanic&#10;C)antipsychotic&#10;D)sedative

Accepted Answer

Antidepressant drugs have been found to be more effective in treating anxiety disorders than antianxiety drugs, with less risk of dependence and withdrawal symptoms. Antimanic drugs are used to treat bipolar disorder, antipsychotic drugs are used to treat psychosis, and sedatives may be used for short-term relief of anxiety symptoms, but they are not considered first-line treatments for anxiety disorders.

Question 3

____________ therapies have had considerable success in treating many types of disorders,including depression,stress disorders,anxiety disorders,and even some of the behavioral symptoms of schizophrenia.

A)Humanistic
B)Psychoanalytic
C)Biomedical
D)Cognitive and cognitive-behavioral

Accepted Answer

Cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies have been found to be effective in treating a range of disorders, including depression, anxiety, and stress disorders. These therapies focus on identifying and changing negative patterns of thought and behavior that contribute to these disorders, and have been shown to be particularly effective in combination with medication in treating symptoms of schizophrenia. Humanistic therapies focus on self-awareness, personal growth, and individual choice, and have been used to treat various mental health disorders, but have not been as extensively researched or widely used as cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies. Psychoanalytic therapies, which focus on exploring unconscious thoughts and emotions, have been used primarily to treat personality disorders and have not been as widely used in the treatment of other types of mental health disorders. Biomedical therapies, which include medication and other medical treatments, have been effective in treating some types of mental health disorders, but are often used in combination with other types of therapy, including cognitive and cognitive-behavioral therapies.

Question 4

Bilateral cingulotomy has been performed in cases of ________ that have not responded to other therapy techniques.&#10;A)antisocial personality disorder&#10;B)major depression&#10;C)schizophrenia&#10;D)panic disorder

Accepted Answer

Bilateral cingulotomy has been used as a treatment option for major depression when other techniques have not been effective. It has not been shown to be effective for the other disorders listed.

Question 5

A goal of family therapy is to ______.&#10;A)change the needs of individual family members&#10;B)improve family communication and interaction&#10;C)identify and treat the person in the family who is the source of the majority of the family's problems&#10;D)teach family members to remain neutral on sensitive issues

Accepted Answer

Family therapy aims to improve family communication and interaction by addressing the underlying patterns and dynamics that contribute to conflicts and problems within the family. While identifying and treating individual issues may be a part of the therapy, the focus remains on promoting positive changes within the family system as a whole. Likewise, remaining neutral on sensitive issues is not necessarily the goal, as family members may be encouraged to express and address their emotions and concerns in a supportive and constructive way.

Question 6

Therapies aimed mainly at understanding one's motives and actions are referred to as _________________.&#10;A)action therapies&#10;B)insight therapies&#10;C)biomedical therapies&#10;D)relationship therapies

Accepted Answer

Insight therapies are focused on gaining insight into the root causes of emotional or behavioral difficulties. These therapies include psychodynamic therapy, humanistic therapy, and cognitive-behavioral therapy.

Question 7

The most important aspect of successful psychotherapy is the __________ between client and therapist.&#10;A)therapeutic alliance&#10;B)transference&#10;C)mindfulness&#10;D)authenticity

Accepted Answer

The therapeutic alliance, or the positive and collaborative relationship between the client and therapist, is consistently identified as the most important aspect of successful psychotherapy. It allows for a safe and trusting space for the client to work through difficult emotions and experiences. Transference, mindfulness, and authenticity can also be important components of therapy, but are not as consistently identified as essential to successful outcomes.

Question 8

Allen,who has a drug abuse problem,is MOST likely to be successfully treated by ______.&#10;A)psychoanalysis&#10;B)family therapy&#10;C)behavior therapy&#10;D)Gestalt therapy

Accepted Answer

Behavior therapy has been found to be the most effective form of therapy for individuals with drug abuse problems. This type of therapy focuses on teaching individuals how to change their behaviors through conditioning and reinforcement techniques. By learning how to modify their behavior and identify triggers for their drug use, individuals can develop coping mechanisms that help them resist the temptation to use drugs. Psychoanalysis and Gestalt therapy are less effective for drug abuse treatment, as they often involve exploring the underlying causes of a person's issues rather than teaching them practical skills to manage their behavior. While family therapy can be helpful in addressing family dynamics that may contribute to drug abuse, it is typically used in conjunction with behavior therapy rather than as a standalone treatment.

Question 9

Carl Rogers's person-centered approach is considered ________ because the client actually does all the real work,with the therapist merely acting as a sounding board.&#10;A)directive&#10;B)nondirective&#10;C)behavioral&#10;D)cognitive

Accepted Answer

The person-centered approach developed by Carl Rogers is considered nondirective because the client takes an active role in the therapy process, while the therapist acts as a supportive and non-judgmental sounding board. The therapist does not give advice or direction, but rather facilitates the client's self-exploration and self-actualization through active listening and reflection.

Question 10

The use of learning techniques to modify or change undesirable behavior and increase desirable behaviors is called_______.&#10;A)behavior modification&#10;B)empty chair technique&#10;C)reflection&#10;D)selective thinking

Accepted Answer

Behavior modification involves using learning techniques to modify or change unwanted behaviors and reinforce desirable behaviors. It is a commonly used approach in psychology and can involve techniques such as positive reinforcement, negative reinforcement, and punishment. The other options listed (empty chair technique, reflection, and selective thinking) do not specifically relate to behavior modification.
