Accepted Answer

Theory reflects the counselor's own beliefs about how people change, how people develop, and how maladjustment occurs. All three components work together in shaping the counselor's approach to therapy.

Question 2

In group, the &#34;&#34;theory of counseling&#34;&#34; is held and used by&#10;A) the supervisor&#10;B) each group member&#10;C) the group leader&#10;D) the group leader and the group members

Accepted Answer

The theory of counseling is typically held and used by the group leader, who uses it to guide the group's discussions and provide support and guidance to the members. While some group members may also have knowledge of counseling theories, it is primarily the group leader's role to apply these theories within the group setting. The supervisor may provide oversight of the group leader, but they are not typically present during group sessions and therefore not directly involved in applying counseling theories within the group dynamic.

Question 3

Group members must learn the following in a REBT group&#10;A) disputation of irrational beliefs&#10;B) interpersonal awareness&#10;C) conditions of worth&#10;D) social interest skills

REBT (Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy) is a cognitive-behavioral approach that focuses on identifying and challenging irrational beliefs that lead to negative and unhealthy emotions and behaviors. The main objective of a REBT group is to teach members how to dispute and replace irrational beliefs with rational ones, which can contribute to greater emotional and mental well-being. While B, C and D may also be important areas of focus in group therapy, they are not specific to REBT and may be covered in other types of group therapy as well.

The main focus of Gestalt in group is on increasing awareness, both of one's own thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, and of the dynamics within the group as a whole.

Question 8

Person-centered approaches to group are unique in the emphasis on&#10;A) interpretation and empathy&#10;B) non-diretiveness and group climate&#10;C) confrontation and questioning&#10;D) none of the above

Accepted Answer

Person-centered approaches to group emphasize non-directiveness and group climate. They encourage group members to express themselves freely without fear of being judged, and aim to create an environment where individuals feel safe and accepted. The focus is on the individuals in the group rather than the facilitator or leader, with the idea being that group members will develop greater self-awareness and growth through their interactions with one another. Interpretation and empathy are also important, but secondary to creating a non-judgmental and supportive group climate. Confrontation and questioning are not typically emphasized in person-centered approaches to group.

Question 9

The originator of the Person-Centered approach is&#10;A) Rogers&#10;B) Adler&#10;C) Landreth&#10;D) Saramel

Accepted Answer

The Person-Centered approach was developed by Carl Rogers, so the correct answer is A. Alfred Adler developed the Individual Psychology theory and developed a psychotherapeutic approach that focuses on social interest and community feeling. Garry Landreth developed Play Therapy for children. Saramel is not a recognized name in the field of psychology or psychotherapy.

Question 10

A critical element of change in Person-Centered groups is&#10;A) confrontation&#10;B) unconditional positive regard&#10;C) consitions of worth&#10;D) open ended questions

Accepted Answer

Unconditional positive regard is a core concept in Person-Centered therapy and groups. It means that the therapist or group members accept and support each other without judgment or conditions, which creates an atmosphere of safety and trust that encourages personal growth and change. While confrontation, conditions of worth, and open-ended questions may be used in Person-Centered groups, they are not the critical element of change.
