Answer to Question 1

D
Expressing doubts about readiness is also within the range of answers, but the therapist will want to work with the adolescent before termination to build support and feelings of confidence. The remaining options reflect responses within the normal range of emotional readiness to terminate.

Answer to Question 2

A
Acceptance involves giving support without making demands. Simply sitting with a patient shows acceptance.
