Question 1

As a counselor who adheres to the grief work as rumination hypothesis, Roger would be most likely to tell a recently widowed individual ​

Accepted Answer

The grief work as rumination hypothesis suggests that individuals need to work through their grief by processing their thoughts and feelings surrounding the loss, but also not getting stuck in ruminative patterns that prolong the grief process. Thus, advising the individual to neither avoid nor over-focus on grieving would be the most appropriate approach. Avoiding grieving can lead to unresolved emotions and problems in the future, while over-focusing on grieving can lead to rumination and prolonging the grief process.

Question 2

Some research suggests that ​

Accepted Answer

Question 5

According to the dual-process model of coping (DPM), ____ are the two main type of stressors. ​

Accepted Answer

The dual-process model of coping (DPM) identifies two main types of stressors: loss-oriented stressors (e.g. death, separation, divorce) and restoration-oriented stressors (e.g. work overload, financial problems). Loss-oriented stressors require individuals to confront and process their emotions in order to adapt and move forward, while restoration-oriented stressors require problem-solving and active efforts to regain control and restore equilibrium.

Question 11

Jefferson's brother died on the 4th of July. Now, every 4th of July, Jefferson gets very sad and thinks about his dead brother. This experience of Jefferson's is best described as a(n)____ reaction. ​

Accepted Answer

Question 12

The anniversary reaction is always tied to a ​

Accepted Answer

The anniversary reaction is a grief response that is triggered by a specific date, such as the anniversary of a loved one’s death. It may involve feelings of sadness, anxiety, and even physical sensations like fatigue or headaches. Therefore, the best choice is D, as it denotes the importance of a specific date in triggering the response. Choices A-C may be related to grief and loss but are not specifically tied to the anniversary reaction.

Question 13

Which is not one of the components in the four-component model of the grieving process? ​

Accepted Answer

The four-component model of the grieving process includes context of the loss, changing representations of the lost relationship over time, and continuation of subjective meaning associated with the loss, but not loss-oriented stressors.

Question 14

Which emotions are most common to an individual who is experiencing prolonged grief? ​

Accepted Answer

Guilt and self-blame are two of the most common emotions experienced by someone going through prolonged grief. While relief may occur after an extended period of suffering, it is typically not a dominant emotion during the grieving process. Euphoria and guilt may also coexist, but self-blame is often a prominent feature of grief as individuals may blame themselves for the loss or feel that they could have done something different to prevent it.

Question 15

Guffy has just lost his wife to cancer and has begun to question the point of his own existence. This concern best fits with the ____ component of grief. ​

Accepted Answer

Question 16

Which of the following most accurately describes the length of time people experience grief? ​

Accepted Answer

Grief is a highly individualized and unpredictable experience, and it can last for extended periods of time at great intensity. There is no set timeline for grief, as it can vary greatly depending on factors such as the individual's relationship with the deceased, the circumstances surrounding the death, and the individual's coping mechanisms. While some individuals may feel a sense of closure or resolution within a year, others may struggle with grief for much longer.

Question 17

Now that his wife has died, it is no longer practical for Marco to live in the house he shared with his wife for many years, so he is trying to find a new place to live and is packing his belongings. These sorts of concerns would be best described as ​

Accepted Answer

Restoration-oriented stressors are concerns related to adapting to changes and finding practical solutions to problems after a loss or significant life change, such as finding a new place to live after a spouse dies. Loss-oriented stressors, on the other hand, are focused on the emotional aspects of the loss, such as feelings of sadness or grief. Traumatic grief typically refers to a more severe form of grief that is associated with traumatic events or sudden, unexpected losses. Anticipatory grief refers to the experience of grieving before a loss actually occurs, usually due to a terminal illness or significant life change that is expected to lead to a loss.

Question 18

This is a key aspect of the context of the loss component of grief.
