Answer to Question 1

1
Rationale: Medicalpsychobiolog ic theory focuses on the individual's genetics, immunology, biorhythms, brain structure, and brain biochemistry and psychoanalytic theory focuses on individual insight. Cognitive behavioral theory focuses on conscious feelings, thoughts, and meanings to develop interventions while psychoanalytic theory focuses on the role of the unconscious in developing insight. Socialinterpersonal theory focuses on self and social systems while psychobiologic theories focus on psychopharmacology and other biologic therapies. Socialinterpersonal and medicalpsychobiolog ic theories can be used holistically to understand the full range of a person's health and response to illness.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: In order to prevent relapse, the client must seek ongoing treatment after detoxification. Denial and rationalization are overused defense mechanisms in substance abuse. Treatment relationships are diversions which keep the client from focusing on his own treatment. Stress management is something that can be accomplished in ongoing treatment.
