Answer to Question 1

Answer: 1
Explanation: Bowenian family therapy is based on the concept that working on unresolved emotional reactivity to parents is the most important unfinished business in life. While the other answer choices represent theoretical frameworks of approaches to family therapy, these do not emphasize working on unresolved emotional reactivity to parents.

Answer to Question 2

Answer: 4
Explanation: The clinician who utilizes reenactment in family therapy is using a cognitive-behavioral theoretical framework. The purpose of reenactment is to observe the types of communication and interactions that occur among the family members. Bowenian family therapy seeks understand current conflicting interactions among family members, as well as to understand intergenerational patterns of behavior among the family members. Observation of the differences in portrayals among the family members is not the purpose of reenactment.
