Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Reeducation and remotivation groups are often beneficial for clients who are withdrawn or socially isolated because they attempt to increase communication and interaction among members to foster more acceptable and appropriate behaviors. This is not a central goal of support groups, problem-solving therapy groups, or insight without reconstruction groups.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Laissez-faire group leaders allow much freedom in the group setting. Autocratic group leaders generally do not encourage active participation or interaction among group members. Such leaders maintain authority and control over group members. Democratic group leaders encourage active participation, value the input and feedback of group members, and promote cohesiveness among the group members.
