Answer to Question 1

A major depressive episode is one in which the depression lasts more than two 2 weeks and encompasses every part of the person's functioning. Suicide is entertained. Feeling lost one 1 week after the death of a parent is considered minor depression. Major depressive episodes that repeat for more than 2 years is considered a major depressive disorder.

Answer to Question 2

Rapport is necessary if a therapeutic relationship is to be established with a client. It involves being accepting, caring, and compassionate and showing a genuine interest in the client.
