Answer to Question 1

1,3,4
Rationale: Social skills training methods are based on principles of social learning and use behavioral techniques such as role-playing, practicing, and reinforcement to promote the learning of instrumental role behavior as well as problem-solving abilities and interpersonal skills.

Answer to Question 2

1,2,3,5
Rationale: It can become extremely challenging when you begin to gather data on a client with dissociative symptoms. The major areas to focus on during assessment are identity, memory, and consciousness. Some other areas to assess are awareness of time, amount of unfinished tasks, goal setting, and inconsistent work attendance. There is no indication that the client's spouse would need to be included in the assessment of the client.
