Answer to Question 1

A, C
Bibliotherapy uses literature to help children express feelings, gain insight, and learn new coping skills. Children's books and a librarian are helpful resources. Paint would be useful for therapeutic drawing. Games would be useful for therapeutic games. Building blocks would be useful for play therapy.

Answer to Question 2

D
Sullivan's theory explains that security operations are interpersonal relationship activities designed to relieve anxiety. Because they are interpersonal, they are observable. Defense mechanisms are unconscious and automatic. Repression is entirely intrapsychic, but other mechanisms result in observable behaviors. Frequent, continued use of many defense mechanisms often results in reality distortion and interference with healthy adjustment and emotional development. Occasional use of defense mechanisms is normal and does not markedly interfere with development. Security operations are ego centered.
