Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Crisis groups have some disadvantages. Keeping each client's specific crisis in focus in a group setting is difficult. Members may suggest a destructive form of coping or maladaptive problem. These problems underscore the need for a trained and experienced crisis group leader.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
The intervener is directive in bringing together the client in crisis and all members of his or her social system for a meeting. During the meeting, all those involved in the crisis analyze the problem and its effect on each family member. Everyone is given an opportunity to voice comments or concerns. Available resources and possible solutions are discussed. By the end of the meeting, the participants should develop a definite plan of action, including exactly who is to do what and when.
