Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: Parents and friends can be instrumental in preventing suicide. Parents and friends universally recognized most symptoms, although friends were better able to recognize symptoms of substance abuse.

Answer to Question 2

Rationale: The family therapist should encourage examination of all emotions in a safe environment. There are no forbidden areas that cannot be examined during family therapy. The other interventions are all appropriate strategies for the family therapist to engage in during therapy.
