Which client would the group co-leaders determine is demonstrating Yalom's therapeutic factor termed universality?
 
  1. Client A, who states he realizes he is not the only person who has a problem with loneliness
  2. Client B, who displays dysfunctional interaction patterns learned in his family of origin
  3. Client C, who states he finally feels a strong sense of belonging
  4. Client D, who openly expresses his anger about his work

Question 2

The treatment team was engaged in planning how group therapy could be included as a part of the structured daily activities of the unit. A new team member asked, Why is it so important to include group therapy for the clients?
 
  The most accurate response would be based on the assumption that:
  1. Psychopathology has its source in disordered relationships
  2. Some persons do not relate well on an individual basis
  3. Hidden agendas frequently surface in group sessions
  4. Group therapy is far more cost-effective for the clients

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 1
Universality is the factor that refers to understanding that one is not unique, that others share thoughts, reactions, and discomforts like your own. Option 2 refers to corrective recapitulation of the family group. Option 3 provides an example of cohesiveness. Option 4 is an example of ca-tharsis.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 1
A key assumption of group therapy is that psychopathology has its source in disordered relation-ships. It follows that individuals will behave in the group as they do in other settings, so group provides an opportunity to help individuals develop more functional relationships. 2. This is not relevant to group work. It is dealt with in one-to-one therapy. 3. This is not a reason to offer group therapy. 4. This is not an assumption about the reason group therapy is effective.
