Answer to Question 1

Ans: D
Feedback:
In group therapy settings, some clients may experience difficulty exposing themselves to a group or believe that they lack the skills to communicate effectively. Such individuals may benefit more from one-on-one therapy. It would likely be ineffective and inappropriate to ask the other members to address this issue or to assign the person a mentor from within the group.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: A
Feedback:
Universality prevents clients from feeling different in a negative way. Within the group, clients begin to feel less isolated and more like others. Learning that others have similar problems, thoughts, and feelings strengthens this feeling.
