Answer to Question 1

D
The younger patient is demonstrating an emotional attachment to the older patient that mirrors patterns within her own family of origin, a phenomenon called corrective recapitulation of the primary family group. Feedback from the group then helps the member gain insight about this behavior and leads to more effective ways of relating to her own family members. Instillation of hope involves conveying optimism and sharing progress. Existential resolution refers to the realization that certain existential experiences such as death are part of life, aiding the adjustment to such realities. Development of socializing techniques involves gaining social skills through the group's feedback and practice within the group.

Answer to Question 2

D
These couples are not firmly committed to their primary relationship. A functional relationship refers to homosexuals who have several sexual partners with no one specific partner; a dysfunctional relationship refers to homosexual individuals who regret their sexual orientation; and a close-coupled relationship refers to a homosexual couple that is analogous to a traditional married couple in a monogamous relationship.
