Answer to Question 1

B
Crying is not cited by experts as a behavior indicating that the individual has a high potential to
behave violently. The other behaviors are consistent with increasing risk for other-directed violence.

Answer to Question 2

B
This attitude is judgmental, whereas the other statements are nonjudgmental. Being judgmental
hinders the establishment of a therapeutic relationship.
