Answer to Question 1

D
The goal of a psychotherapy group is the treatment of emotional, cognitive, or behavioral dysfunction. Group techniques and processes are used to help members learn about their behavior with other people and how it relates to core personality traits. The intent is for the members to change their behavior, not just understand or seek support for it.

Answer to Question 2

A, B, C, E
An individual is more likely to experience mental health problems if he or she lacks good self-esteem and is incapable of controlling his or her life especially because of poor coping skills. Poor or ineffective health education adds to the problem. Environment is not a primary factor in primary prevention.
