Question 2

Which statement best indicates use and abuse of power in a violent family situation?
 
  a. I admit I was mad and yelling and swinging my fists in the air, but I wasn't trying to hit our child. I was letting off some steam. My spouse just overreacted..
  b. When she found out I watched television instead of taking the kids to the park, she starting yelling about how I don't care about the kids. She has no right to get mad at me. I should have some time to myself..
  c. I thought he would like this new recipe. I should have known better. I will not do that again. He was right. He works all day and should come home to a good meal that he can enjoy. It's not too much to ask of a wife..
  d. All I did was tell him I need some money. I can't understand why he can't just give me what I need. I stay home and take care of his house and kids, and I have to almost beg before he gives me money to spend on myself..

Answer to Question 1

B
The major benefit of group therapy for clients is that the group provides a place to belong. Therapy groups are not a place to have intimacy needs met, which may be the focus of singles groups. Also, while some group members may serve as role models and group members can learn about the problems of others, these are not the focus of therapy groups nor major benefits.

Answer to Question 2

C
The correct option shows clear indication that the husband has power over his wife as she expresses agreement with his expectations and indicates she should know better.. The other options are examples of individuals feeling victimized and partners who are able to leave or participate in the situation without becoming victims.
