Answer to Question 1

D
Because the patient with a somatoform disorder is using physical symptoms to express feelings, the goal of verbalizing feelings is appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

A
The family-life-cycle model emphasizes typical transitions of families that are connected to comings and goings of family members. As members enter and exit from the family reorganization of roles and rules within the family is required. The family-life-cycle model also places emphasis on family resources rather than deficits, on transitions rather than stages, and on the family's ability to integrate both stability and change.
