Answer to Question 1

ANS: F
FEEDBACK: Rogers's person-centered psychotherapy was fostered in the United States at the end of World War II (1945) in part by social circumstances. Veterans returning from service overseas needed help readjusting to civilian life. The result was a demand for psychologists and for a counseling technique they could master and put into practice quickly. Training in traditional psychoanalysis required a medical degree and a lengthy period of specialization. However, person-centered psychotherapy, wrote one analyst, was simple, informal, and brief, and it required little training.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Several studies provide support for Rogers's suggestion that incongruence between perceived self and ideal self indicates poor emotional adjustment. Researchers have concluded that the greater the discrepancy, the higher the anxiety, insecurity, self-doubt, depression, social incompetence, and other psychological disorders.
