It would be inaccurate to state that the brain structure in people with schizophrenia:

1. Shows changes in the frontotemporal cortical gray matter.
2. Shows changes in the hippocampal area.
3. Shows changes in the parietal area.
4. Is different from those without schizophrenia.

Question 2

During group therapy, a male client laughs inappropriately and rolls his eyes when another male client discusses his feelings about coming out as a homosexual.

The group therapist asks the first client to explain his reaction to the rest of the group. This process is an example of: 1. Taboo behavior.
2. Clearing the air.
3. Hidden homosexuality.
4. Attention-seeking and power struggles.

Answer to Question 1

3
Rationale: The brains of people with schizophrenia do not show changes in the parietal area. The brains of people with schizophrenia do have different structures from those without schizophrenia. They show changes in the hippocampal area of the brain and in the frontotemporal cortical gray matter.

Answer to Question 2

2
Rationale: Clearing the air (making covert interpersonal difficulties overt) is an integral part of illuminating the process. The group must move beyond a focus on content toward a focus on processthe how and the why of an interaction. The members must recognize, examine, and understand the process and be willing to self-disclose to avoid future conflicts and detrimental behaviors.
