Answer to Question 1

D
The characteristics described are those of cognitive-behavioral therapy in which clients learn to
reframe dysfunctional thoughts to provide more realistic appraisals. Option A: Behavioral therapy
focuses on changing behavior rather than thoughts or feelings. Option B: A self-help group is
composed of clients with similar problems and has no leaders. Option C: A description of
psychoeducational therapy would describe something being taught.

Answer to Question 2

D
The coach's major responsibilities lie with encouraging the client to learn and use necessary skills,
assisting the client to stay on task. The coach is not an ever-present taskmaster or penalizer,
however. Neither does the coach teach work-related skills. That task would be assumed by
vocational staff.
