Answer to Question 1

Ans: A
Transference is the client's unconscious assignment of feelings and attitudes originally associated with important figures in his or her early life to the therapist. Countertransference is the emotional reaction to the client based on the therapist's unconscious needs and conflicts. Resistance is defined as the conscious or unconscious psychological defense against bringing repressed thoughts into conscious awareness. Parataxis is the presence of distorted perception or judgment exhibited by the client during therapy.

Answer to Question 2

Ans: C
Listing of the primary defenses used in life would be a psychoanalytic technique, not a cognitive technique.
