cognitions and in reality testing and formulating new, accurate cognitions. Option D: The desired
outcome of cognitive therapy is to assist the client in increasing his or her objectivity, not
subjectivity, about the cognitions that influence behavior.
Answer to Question 2
ANS:

better accepted. In groups in which mind, body, and spirit are holistically perceived, somatization of
psychological distress is readily effected. Option C: Somatization is seen among clients with both
future and present orientation to time. Option E: Intergenerational conflict has not been noted as a
risk factor for somatization.
