Answer to Question 1

C
A lack of internal controls leads to manipulative behaviors such as lying, cheating, conning, and
flattering. To protect the rights of others, external controls must be consistently maintained until the
client is able to behave appropriately.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
By using the interpersonal model, the therapist sees the anxiety and depression as resulting from
unmet interpersonal security needs. Option A: A cognitive theory formulation would focus on faulty
cognitions of the client. Option B: A behavioral formulation would focus on changing specific
behaviors of the client. Option D: A psychodynamic formulation would focus on uncovering
unconscious material that relates to the client problem.
