Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
This patient needs clear limits at the time of the infraction and it should be handled directly. Reponses A and B are indirect. Focusing on insight into why he smokes is not effective for patients with this disorder.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
Encouraging the patient to focus on a specific relationship to gain some insight rather than focusing on generalizations is more helpful for the patient. Encouraging the patient or testing this belief is not therapeutic.
