Answer to Question 1

Ans: B
Catharsis is the expression of feelings stimulated by parallel experiences. Insight involves increased self-awareness and understanding as the reader explores personal meaning from what is read. Anxiety reduction involves a decreased concern about a diagnosed problem and treatment based on self-help written materials. Problem solving involves the development of solutions to problems in the literature from practical ideas about resolving conflicts.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Psychotherapy, not counseling interventions, is a long-term approach aimed at improving or helping clients regain previous health status and functional abilities. Counseling interventions are specific, time-limited interactions that focus on improving coping abilities, reinforcing healthy behaviors, fostering positive interactions, or preventing illness or disability.
