Despite the demonstrable effectiveness, mechanisms of change are:
- A.
Well understood
- B.
Not well understood
- C.
Somewhat understood
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Not well understoodExplanation
The given answer states that mechanisms of change are not well understood. This implies that despite the effectiveness of these mechanisms, there is still a lack of comprehensive understanding about how they work. This could be due to various reasons such as limited research, complex nature of the mechanisms, or the presence of multiple factors influencing the process of change. The answer suggests that there is a need for further investigation and study to gain a better understanding of these mechanisms.Rate this question:

Healers should be trusted and credible, accepted by clients, and problems could be viewed as resolvable

Jerome Frank proposed that psychotherapy is:
- A.
Not a cultural healing practice but a medical one
- B.
Is a cultural healing practice not really a medical one
- C.
Neither cultural or medical
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. Is a cultural healing practice not really a medical oneExplanation
Jerome Frank proposed that psychotherapy is primarily a cultural healing practice rather than a medical one. This suggests that the main focus of psychotherapy is on understanding and addressing the cultural factors that contribute to mental health issues, rather than solely relying on medical interventions. This perspective emphasizes the importance of considering social, environmental, and cultural influences on mental well-being and highlights the need for culturally sensitive approaches in psychotherapy.Rate this question:

Psychotherapy is not a healing practice that can be used with nonhumans, the way modern medicine can as in veterinary medicine
- A.
True
- B.
False
Correct Answer
A. TrueExplanation
Psychotherapy is a form of therapy that specifically targets human mental health issues. It involves talking and discussing emotions, thoughts, and behaviors with a trained therapist. Since nonhumans, such as animals, do not possess the same cognitive abilities and language skills as humans, psychotherapy cannot be effectively applied to them. On the other hand, veterinary medicine focuses on diagnosing and treating physical ailments in animals. Therefore, psychotherapy cannot be used with nonhumans, making the statement "Psychotherapy is not a healing practice that can be used with nonhumans" true.Rate this question:

From a cultural, humanistic context, change is:
- A.
Explained to the client by the therapist/healer
- B.
Explained to the therapist by the client
- C.
Not explained at all
- D.
Both A and B
Correct Answer
A. Explained to the client by the therapist/healerExplanation
In a cultural and humanistic context, change is typically explained to the client by the therapist or healer. This approach emphasizes the importance of the therapist or healer guiding and facilitating the process of change for the client. By explaining the process and providing support, the therapist or healer helps the client understand and navigate the changes they are experiencing. This collaborative approach promotes client empowerment and autonomy in the therapeutic or healing process.Rate this question:

Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is defined in the Contextual Model as:
- A.
The number who need to receive the Tx to achieve a success relative to treated patients
- B.
The number who need to receive the Tx to achieve a success relative to untreated patients
- C.
The number of individuals needed to Tx to reach effectiveness of a particular Tx
- D.
None of the above
Correct Answer
B. The number who need to receive the Tx to achieve a success relative to untreated patientsExplanation
The correct answer is "The number who need to receive the Tx to achieve a success relative to untreated patients." Number Needed to Treat (NNT) is a measure used in clinical research to determine the effectiveness of a treatment. It represents the number of patients who need to receive the treatment in order for one additional patient to benefit compared to if they were left untreated. Therefore, the NNT is a measure of the effectiveness of a treatment relative to untreated patients.Rate this question:

ES of .80 is equivalent to NNT of (and is the NNT of psychotherapy):
- A.
4
- B.
10
- C.
7
- D.
3
Correct Answer
D. 3Explanation
An ES of .80 indicates a large effect size, which means that psychotherapy has a significant impact on the outcome being measured. The NNT (Number Needed to Treat) represents the number of patients who need to receive the treatment in order for one additional patient to benefit. In this case, an NNT of 3 suggests that for every three patients who receive psychotherapy, one additional patient will experience a positive outcome. This indicates that psychotherapy is highly effective in producing positive results.Rate this question:

Therapy compared to psychopharmacological Txs and the "dodo bird conjecture (for any 1 diagnosis decades of research has not found 1 Tx superior to another)" for mental disorders are:
- A.
As effective and more enduring
- B.
Less effective and less enduring
- C.
More effective and more enduring
- D.
Equally effective and equally enduring

A. As effective and more enduringExplanation
The given correct answer suggests that therapy is as effective as psychopharmacological treatments for mental disorders, but it is also more enduring. This implies that therapy not only provides similar benefits as medication but also has longer-lasting effects. This could be because therapy addresses the underlying causes of the disorder and helps individuals develop coping mechanisms and skills to manage their symptoms in the long term.Rate this question:

Therapist qualities such as ability to form a working alliance and to be trustworthy and credible are found to be
- A.
Important to the effectiveness of psychotherapy, outcomes at least 1 order of magnitude (10xs) greater than differences in Txs
- B.
Not important to the effectiveness of psychotherapy, outcomes do not effect the magnitude of differences in Txs
- C.
Somewhat important
Correct Answer
A. Important to the effectiveness of psychotherapy, outcomes at least 1 order of magnitude (10xs) greater than differences in TxsExplanation
The therapist qualities such as the ability to form a working alliance and to be trustworthy and credible are considered important to the effectiveness of psychotherapy. These qualities have a significant impact on the outcomes of therapy, which are found to be at least 10 times greater in magnitude than the differences in treatment approaches. In other words, the therapeutic relationship and the trustworthiness of the therapist play a crucial role in determining the success of psychotherapy, surpassing the influence of specific treatment techniques.Rate this question:

Placebo response is uniquely human in that:
- A.
Opiods are really released when expectation is created; subject develops an expectation created by someone with expertise
- B.
Opiods are not really released; subjects simply develop and expectation created by someone with expertise
- C.
Opiods are irrelevant
- D.
Both B and C
Correct Answer
A. Opiods are really released when expectation is created; subject develops an expectation created by someone with expertiseExplanation
The correct answer is that opioids are really released when an expectation is created and the subject develops an expectation created by someone with expertise. This means that when a person believes that they are receiving a treatment or medication that will help them, their body may actually release opioids, which can lead to a placebo response. This response is unique to humans and can have a significant impact on their perception of pain and overall well-being.Rate this question:
