Answer to Question 1

B
Being absent from appointments is a behavior that is commonly seen when clients are withdrawing from the termination phase of the relationship. It actually is a response that occurs because the client does not want the therapeutic relationship to end. Bringing up new problems refers to the continuation response, and returning to maladaptive behavior and having increased anxiety refer to the regression response.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: The client is in the honeymoon phase of the cycle of battering. In this phase, the batterer becomes extremely loving, kind, and contrite. Promises are often made that the abuse will not happen again.
