Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
In solution-focused therapy, the therapist works with the client as he or she solves the problem. Solution-focused therapists use the word we (client and therapist), suggesting a joint experience. In the SFT process, there may be some initial discussion of the problem, but the therapist then focuses on change. He or she looks for times when the problem was not in evidence or when, even for a short time, there was a solution to the problem.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: D
Feedback:
REBT posits that rational beliefs are evaluative and nonabsolute cognitions. Irrational beliefs tend to be dogmatic and are expressed in the form of rigid musts, shoulds, oughts, or have-tos. They lead to negative emotions (eg, depression, anxiety, guilt, anger) that interfere with goal pursuit and attainment.
