Answer to Question 1

A
ECT is not recommended for infants and young children. It can, however, be effective in treatment of certain disorder of adolescence and adulthood. It is most often used for severe depression.

Answer to Question 2

D
The expectation would be that clients with high levels of trait anxiety would most likely admit to feeling more anxious than those with low trait anxiety. Trait anxiety is a concept based on the observation that some individuals seem to experience higher levels of anxiety than others. Trait anxiety is often combined with the concept of adversity, which is a measure of how strong of a stimulus for anxiety a given event is. Together these two concepts form a model for perceived anxiety.
