Answer to Question 1

1,2,3
Rationale: All of the questions apply to developing self-awareness except avoiding working with the parents; parents need to be involved in order for treatment to progress. Asking, What am I learning about myself as I work with this child? and What don't I like about this child? are necessary to help one examine thoughts and feelings which contribute to self-awareness. Asking, How can I use this opportunity to learn more about myself? is necessary for personal growth.

Answer to Question 2

3
Rationale: Open analysis of client behaviors and response patterns is one of the primary objectives during the working phase. Evaluating client accomplishments and arranging for follow-up are aspects of the termination phase. Explicit definition of client roles and responsibilities is an important aspect of the orientation phase.
