Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Feedback:
Clients with major depressive disorder must have either a depressed mood or a loss of interest or inability to derive pleasure from previously enjoyed activities.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Psychodynamic theories postulate that clients with depression have unexpressed and unconscious anger about feeling helpless or dependent on others. They cannot express this anger toward the person or people on whom they feel dependent, so their anger turns inward.
