Answer to Question 1

B
The frontal lobe is responsible for intellectual functioning. The hippocampus is involved in emotions and learning. The cerebellum regulates skeletal muscle coordination and equilibrium. The brainstem regulates internal organs.

Answer to Question 2

D
Helping the patient focus on a concrete activity based in here-and-now reality, such as singing, assists the patient to interrupt the dissociative process. Meditation, medication, and guided imagery can help reduce anxiety but work indirectly to reduce vulnerability to dissociation. They do not work as well to directly interrupt the dissociative process itself.
