Question 1

A search for possible obstacles to implementing a plan is the essence of ____.&#10;A)an examination of facilitating forces&#10;B)circular logistics&#10;C)delayed procrastination&#10;D)becoming aware of restraining forces

Accepted Answer

Becoming aware of restraining forces involves identifying potential obstacles or challenges that could hinder the implementation of a plan. This is important in order to develop strategies to overcome or mitigate these barriers. Therefore, D is the correct answer. A is incorrect because an examination of facilitating forces focuses on identifying factors that can help the plan succeed rather than on potential obstacles. B and C are not valid options or concepts related to this question.

Lin: I feel so much better understanding that my unsatisfying relationships with colleagues wasn't just their fault.I also had a role to play.It makes me feel hopeful that I can make a change for the better.You know,I also think that I am learning that I can help my personal relationships too by being more aware of how I behave.I feel like I am always going to check in with myself whenever I am with people who are important to me.
Lin's realisation reflects which of the following?

A)Single-choice decisional control
B)Personal prompts and probes
C)Protracted decisional self-control
D)Failure to use effective habit control techniques

C

Accepted Answer

Lin's realization that she had a role to play in her poor relationships with co-workers at the office indicates that she has developed protracted decisional self-control. She has learned to take responsibility for her actions and to be more aware and intentional in her interactions with others. She is practicing self-reflection and self-regulation to improve her relationships with colleagues and personal relationships.

Question 3

What attribute is noted by Egan as one that contributes to resilience?&#10;A)Internal locus of control&#10;B)Discipline&#10;C)Dogmatism&#10;D)Passivity

Accepted Answer

Egan notes that having an internal locus of control, meaning a belief that one has control over their own life and is not simply at the mercy of external forces, is an important attribute that contributes to resilience. Choices B, C, and D do not align with this characteristic.

Question 4

Which of the following is one of the ways that clients avoid taking responsibility for actions?&#10;A)Passivity&#10;B)Learned helplessness&#10;C)Getting trapped in vicious circles&#10;D)All of the above

Accepted Answer

All of the given options - passivity, learned helplessness, and getting trapped in vicious circles - are ways in which clients may avoid taking responsibility for actions. Passivity refers to a lack of action or initiative, while learned helplessness is a belief that one is unable to change their circumstances. Getting trapped in vicious circles is when a person is stuck in a pattern of negative behavior or self-talk that perpetuates their problems.

Question 5

Which of the following is not a strategy to help clients from planning to action?&#10;A)Overcoming procrastination&#10;B)Developing an action-focused self-contract&#10;C)Promoting second-order reflection&#10;D)Avoiding imprudent action

Accepted Answer

Promoting second-order reflection is more about deepening understanding and insight rather than moving from planning to action, which involves practical steps and strategies to initiate or continue actions towards goals.

Question 6

Many clients procrastinate because ____.&#10;A)they focus on the short-term pain of moving into action&#10;B)they want to act with a sense of urgency&#10;C)they are lazy&#10;D)they have their minds set on only one goal

Accepted Answer

Procrastination often occurs when individuals focus on the short-term pain of taking action and fail to consider the long-term benefits. They may feel overwhelmed by the effort required or fear failure or discomfort. This can lead to a cycle of delay and avoidance, which can ultimately undermine their goals and well-being. While laziness may play a role in procrastination, it is often more nuanced than simple lack of motivation. Therefore, option C is not accurate. Additionally, option B is not the best choice because it suggests that all procrastinators have a sense of urgency, which is not always the case. Option D is also an insufficient explanation because it assumes that all clients have only one goal, which is a narrow view of human behavior.

Question 8

The two types of feedback are ____.&#10;A)discrete feedback and continuous feedback&#10;B)confirmatory feedback and corrective feedback&#10;C)facilitative feedback and confirmatory feedback&#10;D)concrete feedback and evaluative feedback

Accepted Answer

Confirmatory feedback is feedback that confirms the correctness or success of a behavior or action, while corrective feedback is feedback that points out mistakes or areas for improvement. These two types of feedback are complementary, and both are important for growth and development. Discrete feedback and continuous feedback refer more to the timing and frequency of feedback, rather than the content or purpose of the feedback. Facilitative feedback and evaluative feedback are not commonly used terms in the field of feedback and may not accurately capture the distinction between different types of feedback. Concrete feedback is not a commonly used term in feedback and may be unclear in its meaning.

Question 9

On occasion,clients are in therapy for a long time but do not seem to make significant progress.This is mainly due to_______&#10;A)Boundaries broken&#10;B)Client's lack of initiative&#10;C)Client may have chosen not to change&#10;D)Infrequent contact with the therapist

Accepted Answer

Ultimately, change is up to the client and if they are not willing or ready to change, therapy may not produce significant progress. It is important for the therapist to explore this with the client and determine if continuing therapy is still beneficial for them.
