Question 6

Most children who see a professional for services fit the definition of being clients in an involuntary situation.

Accepted Answer

Most children who see a professional for services, such as therapy or counseling, do so because a parent, guardian, or school official has decided it is necessary, not because the child has independently sought out these services. This makes their participation involuntary, as they may not have a choice in the decision to receive services.

Question 9

The authors state it is more necessary to confront clients in involuntary than voluntary situations.

Accepted Answer

Involuntary situations often require a more delicate approach, focusing on building rapport and understanding, rather than confrontation, which can be counterproductive and escalate resistance.

Question 10

Interviewing a dyad is also called conjoint interviewing.

Accepted Answer

Conjoint interviewing refers to the process of interviewing two people simultaneously, which is often used in research to explore the dynamics of their relationship or interaction, hence the term "dyad" for the pair being interviewed together.

Question 11

The authors state that because adults have more ability, know-how, and other resources to change than children, they prefer to work with adults around the presenting problems of children or with adults and children conjointly rather than with children alone.

Accepted Answer

The authors' statement reflects a common perspective in therapeutic and intervention contexts, where it's believed that adults, due to their greater capacity, knowledge, and resources, can be more effective agents of change in addressing the issues affecting children. Working with adults directly or in conjunction with children allows for a more comprehensive approach to solving the presenting problems of children.

Question 12

The authors state that when the position of one member of the dyad is clearly more reasonable and fair than the others, it is appropriate for the interviewer to inform the person with the less reasonable point of view that his or her point of view is creating problems in the relationship and ought to change.

Accepted Answer

The authors emphasize a neutral, non-judgmental approach in mediation or therapy, focusing on understanding each person's perspective without taking sides or declaring one viewpoint as more reasonable or fair than the other.

Question 13

In most dyads, even when the two persons are in conflict, they generally want the same thing, namely, an improved relationshi

Accepted Answer

In most dyads, despite conflicts, both parties typically desire an improved relationship, as resolving conflicts often leads to stronger connections and better understanding between individuals.

Question 14

Asking the miracle question early in an interview with a dyad can be an effective way to minimize conflict between the two persons.

Accepted Answer

The miracle question helps individuals envision a future without their current problem, which can shift the focus from conflict to shared goals and understanding, potentially reducing tension early in the process.

Question 15

One way to minimize the potential for conflict between the members of a dyad is for the interviewer to move quickly to asking each person what he or she wants different.

Accepted Answer

Asking each person what they want different can help clarify individual needs and expectations, reducing misunderstandings and potential conflicts.

Question 16

Sometimes a child's problem behavior gets solved by parents deciding that the problem behavior no longer amounts to a problem even though the actual problem behavior has not changed

Accepted Answer

This approach involves a change in the parents' perception or acceptance of the behavior, rather than a change in the child's behavior itself. By reevaluating what they consider problematic, parents may decide that certain behaviors are acceptable or manageable, thus "solving" the issue without altering the child's actions.

Question 17

The more invested in client outcomes the practitioner is

Accepted Answer

Being overly invested in client outcomes can lead to burnout and decreased effectiveness. It's important for practitioners to maintain professional boundaries and self-care practices.

Question 18

Pronounced anger between the members of a dyad is a clear indication that the two persons and their relationship are no longer important to one another.

Accepted Answer

Pronounced anger in a dyad often indicates that there is still emotional investment and that the relationship holds importance to the individuals involved; it shows that they care enough to express strong emotions.
