Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Maturational crises occur when a person arrives at a new stage of development and finds that old coping styles are ineffective but has not yet developed new strategies. Situational crises arise from sources external to the individual, such as divorce and job loss. There is no classification called reactive. Adventitious crises occur when disasters, such as natural disasters (e.g., floods, hurricanes), war, or violent crimes, disrupt coping.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A
Strategies of crisis intervention address the immediate cause of the crisis and restoration of emotional security and equilibrium. The goal is to return the individual to the pre-crisis level of function. Crisis intervention is, by definition, short term. The correct response is the most global answer. Promoting growth is a focus of long-term therapy. Providing legal assistance might or might not be applicable.
