Answer to Question 1

B
Reminiscence therapy encourages members to share both positive and negative significant life memories to promote resolution. Stimulation of life memories serves to help older clients work through their losses and maintain self-esteem. Reminiscence therapy can take place in one-on-one or group settings.

Answer to Question 2

D
Feedback: Clients with schizoid disorder often work well in jobs with minimal interpersonal demands. Answer A is not a positive suggestion for this client. Answer B does not promote independence in finding a job. Answer C is not correct because these clients exhibit marked detachment from others; working in a fast-food restaurant involves the use of many interpersonal skills.
