Answer to Question 1

C
Feedback: In intellectualization, the client is aware of the facts of the situation but does not show the emotions associated with the situation. Dissociation involves dealing with emotional conflict by a temporary alteration in consciousness or identity. Displacement is the ventilation of intense feelings toward the person less threatening than the one who aroused those feelings. Suppression is replacing the desired gratification with one that is more readily available.

Answer to Question 2

A
