Answer to Question 1

D
Treatment has been successful when an individual can use coping mechanisms to move forward and find meaning in the traumatic event. Continued use of drugs and alcohol is maladaptive. Continued sleep disturbances and insomnia as well as dissociation or depersonalization do not indicate that treatment was effective.

Answer to Question 2

C
Individuals with pedophilia frequently do not believe that their behavior is harmful to the child. Instead, they point to having provided teaching and pleasure for the child. The other options are not characteristic of the thinking of the pedophile.
