Answer to Question 1

B
Hans Selye's theory of general adaptation (or stress) syndrome suggests that psychosocial stressors influence health via the hypothalamic pituitary axis. This occurs through affecting the secretions of glucocorticoids, which may suppress immune system function.

Answer to Question 2

D
Successful group leaders become comfortable with gaps and silences that occur during the session. They have well-developed techniques of therapeutic communication, observation, and listening. They recognize that silence can be therapeutic in certain circumstances.
