Answer to Question 1

A
According to Schneidman, pain, perturbation, and press affect suicidal ideation. Press is a concept describing the various stresses or pressures on an individual. Pain is viewed as a psychological phenomenon but is unlikely to exclude physical pain. Perturbation means the amount of emotional distress reflected in the presence or absence of impulse control.

Answer to Question 2

A
The patient is cognitively distorting by externalizing self-worth. The most therapeutic communication is the one that summarizes the patient's viewpoint and reflects it back for the patient to hear in a nonjudgmental way.
