Answer to Question 1

C
Although revisiting of past traumas, pharmacological therapy, and family therapy are all possible treatment components, stabilization must be implemented first for the client. Stabilization consists of making the patient feel safe and able to trust the treatment team.

Answer to Question 2

B
Traditional roles for men and women are in conflict with societal expectations of Western society in this situation. Men tend to demonstrate more violent and abusive behaviors as mental health problems with this conflict. Cultural stereotyping is imposed by someone outside the culture, and religious and territoriality conflicts do not apply to this circumstance.
