Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Feedback:
A positive relationship with at least one parent has been shown to exert a protective effect on children. Children with positive parental relationships have greater resistance to the effects of stressors (Shankoff and Philips, 2000).

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Feedback:
Group therapy is especially helpful for adolescents for whom the influence of peers is strong; adolescents are more likely to accept feedback and suggestions from their peers than from adults. Group therapy is less threatening than individual therapy and allows the adolescent to identify with others who have similar problems.
