Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
At the unconscious level, the client's primary gain from the symptoms is anxiety relief. Considering
that the symptoms actually make the client more psychologically comfortable and may also provide
secondary gain, clients frequently fiercely cling to the symptoms. Option A: The symptoms tend to
be ego syntonic. Option B: The symptoms are not under voluntary control. Option D: The symptoms
are not physiologically based.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Both men are in middle adulthood, when the developmental crisis to be resolved is generativity
versus self-absorption. A exemplifies generativity; B embodies self-absorption. Option A: This
developmental crisis would show a contrast between relating to others in a trusting fashion or being
suspicious and lacking trust. Option B: Failure to negotiate this developmental crisis would result in
a sense of inferiority or difficulty learning and working as opposed to the ability to work
competently. Option C: Behaviors that would be contrasted would be emotional isolation and the
ability to love and commit oneself.
