The Tarasoff case led to the ruling that a therapist who learns that a client is threatening to harm someone:
a) Must take steps to have the person committed.
b) Must physically detain the client.
c) Must warn the intended victim of the client.
d) Must break confidentiality and notify police or other authorities that the person is dangerous.
Question 2
Following a study by Morin and associates at Laval University on the efficacy of different treatments for sleep problems in the elderly, we can conclude that if Jack was in the behavioural treatment group and Bill was in the drug-and-behavioural
treatment group:
a) Jack was sleeping better than Bill at the end of treatment and at a two-year follow-up.
b) Bill was sleeping better than Jack at the end of treatment and at a two-year follow-up.
c) Jack and Bill were sleeping equally well at the end of treatment but Jack was the only one who maintained these improvements at the follow-up.
d) None of the above; the drug-only treatment group improved the most overall.
