Answer to Question 1

4
Rationale: The outcome of the intervention should be to get the client to the highest level of functioning possible, which typically is consistent with the pre-crisis level of function. Distraction, refocusing on other areas of life, and ignoring the situation that triggered the crisis are not therapeutic interventions.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Group therapy provides stimuli from multiple sources, revealing distortions in interpersonal relationships so that they can be examined and resolved. The goal of group therapy is not to stifle emotions. A result of examining and resolving issues may be to effectively process and handle emotions.
