Answer 1

ANSWER 1 :- Therapist should be aware of their personal biases and values and how these might affect their work with couples and families.The statement is "True".

REASON :- It is so because if therapist themselves are not clear about their own beliefs and ideas regarding things,then certainly they might lead to such situation,where it will start creating hindrance in their work,as such unclarity about any subject matter,that is their thoughts about it,their uncertainity or ideas thatlmight be disturbing for them,then it will eventually have its impact on their work while dealing with couples and families.So,it is required that whenever the therapist come across any of his client,he shoupd keep away his own unclear or neagtive personal opinion about it,so that any of his such vision will not do any harm to the client.

ANSWER 2 :- A therapist helps to break the client's goal down into smaller steps.Here the therapist is focussed on the "Objectives" part of the treatment plan.

REASON :- It is so because,by doing this the therapist is basically trying to help to get achievement in smaller areas,which is hugely related with the actual target which they want to achieve,and moreover the focus on smaller step is mainly a stepping stone,through which they could actually gain the bigger targets.

ANSWER 3 :- Assessment is an ongoing process in therapy.This statement is "True".

REASON :- It is so because by constantly evaluating or assessing the client,the therapist could easily analyze whether or not any progress is being made in the client.Therefore,assessment has major part in any therapy,and is basically an ongoing process.

ANSWER 4 :- "Presenting concerns" are the issues that bring an individual,couple or family into therapeutic treatment.The statement is "True".

REASON :- It is because,these concerns or issues are the thing which is hampering the life of the client,as such,which is compelling them to move ahead and take a professional help from the therapist.Here in ,by presenting concern,the client specifically makes the therpist aware about the reason which led him to visit him.It mainly signifies the starting period with respect to therapy.
