  2. Touch is a human need, just like food, so please try.

  4. Your mother certainly wouldn't want you to do something that you find so dif-ficult.

  1. Let's discuss how to select today's focus.
  2. Today's focus will be auditory rather than visual.
  3. What do you find to be most effective as your focus?
  4. Review this list and select a focus for today's session.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: 3
Touch is a primal need, as necessary as food, growth, or shelter. This answer is the only option that attempted to provide an acceptable solution for the family member's problem.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: 3
People typically respond to their environment according to the way they perceive it, as well as by their own visualizations and expectancies. Therefore individuals learn to regulate themselves by selecting appropriate visualizations and expectations. The remaining options do not allow the cli-ent to control the selection process.
