Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The primary gain achieved from the client's use of these rituals is anxiety relief. Unfortunately, the
anxiety relief is short lived and the client must frequently repeat the ritual. The other options are not
related to the dynamics of compulsive behavior.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
The individual who is agoraphobic generally acknowledges that the behavior is not constructive and
that he or she does not really like it. The symptom is ego dystonic. However, the client will state he
or she is unable to change the behavior. Options A and B: Agoraphobics are not optimistic about
change. Option C: Most families are dissatisfied with the behavior.
