Answer to Question 1

B
The phenomenon of many people having symptoms of mental illness, but few seeking help, is known as the tip-of-the-iceberg phenomenon. This phenomenon is analogous to characteristics of an iceberg. An iceberg may show only a small tip above water, while the majority is invisible below the water.

Answer to Question 2

B
Using a structural family therapy approach when working with a family that has a teenager experiencing school problems and depression, the goal would be to identify the family structure that allows a family problem to persist. For example, the depressed teenager may be reacting to controls that have not allowed him to be independent and competent. The school problems may be a result of the depression or a cry for attention. Structural family therapy will help the family deal with feedback between circumstances and the person(s) involved.
