Answer to Question 1

B
Masters and Johnson believe that attitudes and ignorance are responsible for most sexual dysfunction. Their therapeutic model emphasizes education about sexual function, alleviation of performance anxiety, and an increase in warm, comfortable feelings between partners. There is no attempt to employ the uncovering used in psychoanalytical treatment.

Answer to Question 2

A
Lability is identified when the patient's affect shifts rapidly, such as from happy to sad or angry to elated. The remaining options are thought-content descriptors.
