Answer to Question 1

C
Mental health professionals have begun to explore the use of new approaches to providing treatment, rehabilitation services, and housing to homeless people with mental illness, a population that often avoids contact with traditional mental health programs. Key components of this focused treatment approach include frequent and consistent staff contact through assertive outreach.

Answer to Question 2

A
Experience-oriented therapy engages the client in new interactions and in new ways-of-being within the therapy session. It does not try to change conscious thoughts, provide homework experiences, or try to discover unconscious knowledge. Experience-oriented therapy focuses on the client's experiences as an agent for producing change. The client's experience is facilitated by a therapist who has assessed the client and who directs experiences to produce a calculated change in behavior or feeling.
