Answer to Question 1

Ans: C
Accepters attribute their health condition to a power outside of their control and feel powerless to affect the outcome of their future. As well, they are likely to reject the potential benefit of a therapy. Deniers believe there is no problem, while minimizers prefer to simplify everything and diminish the health impact of their behavior. Controllers tend to meticulously follow directions.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: B
Aversion therapy uses unpleasant or noxious stimuli to change inappropriate behavior. Aversion therapy has been used in the treatment of alcoholism. Cognitive behavior therapy uses confrontation as a means of helping a client restructure irrational beliefs and behaviors. Assertiveness training helps clients relate appropriately to others using frank, honest, and direct expressions, whether these are positive or negative. Systematic desensitization eliminates the client's fears or anxieties by stressing relaxation techniques that inhibit anxious responses.
