Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
Anomic suicides are acts of self-destruction by individuals who have become alienated from important relationships in their groups, especially as this relates to their standard of living. Durkheim characterized egoistic suicides as the self-inflicted deaths of individuals who turn against their own conscience. Altruistic suicides are self-inflicted deaths on the basis of obe-dience to a group's goals rather than reflecting the person's own best interests. Durkheim de-fined fatalistic suicides as self-inflicted deaths that result from excessive regulation.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Cognitive techniques use examination of thought patterns and challenges to irrational or neg-ative thoughts. The remaining options are not interventions that are supported cognitive therapy.
