PSYCH 1200 - Chapter 16 || All Answers Are Correct 100%.
Clinical psychologists correct answers Have obtained PhDs (typically five years of graduate
school plus a one-year internship in a clinical setting) and are able to formally diagnose and treat
mental health issues ranging from the everyday and mild to the chronic and severe
Counselling psychologists correct answers - Mental health professionals who typically work with
people who need help with more common problems such as stress and coping; issues concerning
identity, sexuality, and relationships; anxiety and depression; and developmental issues such as
childhood trauma
- Counselling psychologists may have either a Master's or PhD degree
Psychiatrists correct answers - Medical doctors who specialize in mental health and who are
allowed to diagnose and treat mental disorders through prescribing medications
- Most psychiatrists complete an undergraduate degree, four years of medical school, and a five-
year residency
The goal of asylums was not to treat patients, but rather: correct answers To protect the public
and to provide basic care for individuals whose families could not do so
The creation of institutions for housing the mentally unwell began in the 15th century due to:
correct answers Rapidly growing European populations and mass migration to cities
One major contribution to the shift in attitudes toward patients was that: correct answers
Effective treatments began to be developed for some disorders, largely in the form of medication
Deinstitutionalization correct answers The movement of large numbers of psychiatric in-patients
from their care facilities back into regular society, generally after having their symptoms
alleviated through medication
Residential treatment centres correct answers Housing facilities in which residents receive
psychological therapy and life skills training, with the explicit goal of helping residents become
re-integrated into society
The majority of invloluntary treatment cases arise due to: correct answers The person engaging
in highly erratic or disturbing behaviour, which results in legal trouble and the possibility that the
person may be a risk to themselves or others
Involuntary treatment is more common for: correct answers Individuals who are lower in
socioeconomic status and from African-American or Latino backgrounds
The deinstitutionalization movement of the 1950s and 1960s did have one unintentional negative
consequence: correct answers Many of the previously hospitalized patients who were released
back into society did not have family or social support structures in place to help them
reintegrate successfully
, Community psychology correct answers Focuses on identifying how individuals' mental health is
influenced by the community in which they live, and emphasizes community-level variables
such as social programs, support networks, and community resource centres to help those with
mental illness adjust to the challenges of everyday life
Through working at a community level rather than narrowly focusing on individuals, community
psychologists hope to: correct answers Prevent or minimize the development of disorders,
seeking to enhance the factors (such as healthy family relationships) that strengthen people and
make them more resilient to the kinds of stresses that can otherwise undermine mental health
In the mid-1990s, the American Psychological Association set up: correct answers Task forces to
evaluate different therapy practices and made their findings and recommendations available
online to the general public
Empirically supported treatments (evidence-based therapies) correct answers Treatments that
have been tested and evaluated using scientific methods
Problems with experimental testing of therapies correct answers - It is ethically problematic to
place people into a control group that receives no treatment of any kind, because it effectively
denies them treatment that they need.
-I t is also generally impossible to use double-blind procedures, given that a therapist, of course,
knows which type of treatment is being administered, and many clients likely do as well
- Much of the effectiveness of therapies comes from therapeutic alliances
Therapeutic alliance correct answers The relationship that emerges in therapy between the
therapist and the patient (factors such as empathy and trust, which allow the therapist and client
to build an appropriately supportive relationship)
Because of the importance of therapeutic alliance therapists who are more socially skilled tend to
be: correct answers More effective
Clients who are more open to the process, more willing to trust the therapist, and more willing to
recognize and work on their issues are: correct answers More likely to benefit from therapy
Bibliotherapy correct answers The use of self-help books and other reading materials as a form
of therapy
The biggest strength of the self-help literature is also its biggest weakness: correct answers There
are so many books available that it is almost impossible to ensure that they are all credible
sources of information
The reason that caution is necessary when using self-help books is that: correct answers Many
psychological disorders are both complex and emotionally intense. Exploring the various
symptoms of a person's psychological disorder and examining their causes can be a difficult
experience
