Answer to Question 1

D
A therapist who focuses on the concepts of resistance and transference is most likely using a psychoanalytic approach to group therapy. A psychoanalytic approach would focus on the client's growth through the uncovering of the client's unconscious self and awareness of past experiences. These discoveries provide insight into current patterns and difficulties. Concepts such as resistance, transference, and working through are central to the theory of psychoanalysis.

Answer to Question 2

A
The use of a predeployment mental health screening can reduce mental health problems, medical evacuations from war zones for mental health problems, and suicidal ideation.
