Answers
Frankl |1984 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-The |striving |to |find |meaning |in |one's |life |is |the |primary |
motivational |force |in |man.



Hill |2014 |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔-Helpers |ideally |begin |the |interpretive |process |with |an |attitude |of |
empathic |curiosity. |They |wonder |what |it |is |that |makes |a |client |act |in |a |certain |way.



Fostering |Insight |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Helpers |invite |clients |to |think |more |deeply |about |the |
nature |of |their |problems.

~What |factors |influence |those |problems?

~How |did |those |problems |develop |over |time?

~What |issues |cause |the |maintenance |and |reoccurence |of |problems |over |time?

-Helpers |can |use |skills |to |encourage |clients |to |think |more |deeply |(i.e. |new |awareness/understand |
differently) |about |the |nature |of |their |issues:

~open |questions/probes

~interpretations

~self-disclosure



Open |Questions |for |Insight/Probes |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--"Clients |often |come |up |w/ideas |and |
insights |on |their |own, |if |granted |the |space |and |support |to |do |so" |(Hill).

-A |helper |finds |out |what |the |client |thinks |and |creates |an |opportunity |for |the |client |to |be |curious |and |
join |in |on |the |process |to |figure |out |what |is |going |on. |

~What |are |your |thoughts |about |what |is |going |on |there?

~What |do |you |make |of |the |feelings |that |emerged |each |time |this |happened?

~What |connection |do |you |make |between |your |feelings |and |the |event?

~Tell |me |a |little |more |about |your |understanding |of |how |this |relationship |ended.

, Interpretation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Interpretation: |a |statement |that |goes |beyond |what |a |client |
has |overtly |stated |or |recognized |and |gives |a |new |meaning, |reason, |or |explanation |for |behaviors, |
thoughts, |and |feelings |so |that |a |client |can |see |problems |in |a |new |way.



Interpretation... |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Types:

~Make |connections |between |previously |unrelated |events

~Point |out |themes

~Examine |defenses, |resistance, |and |transference |reactions

~Offer |new |framework |for |viewing |behaviors |(reframe)



Interpretation: |Source |of |Data |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Past |experiences: |client's |current |behavior |is |
related |to |certain |experiences |or |events |from |the |past

-Interpersonal |interactions

-Observations |of |defense |mechanisms

-Life/developmental |stages |

-Existential |Issues |

-Unconscious |sources |of |info



Accuracy |Issues |of |Interpretation |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--The |client |and |helper |are |on |an
|"archeological |dig" |to |uncover |what |actually |happened |in |the |client's |past |and |understand |how |these

|events |affect |the |client's |current |behavior |(psychoanalysis). |But...



-Complete |accuracy |cannot |be |determined.

~"We |cannot |go |back |and |see |what |actually |happened |in |the |client's |life, |and |even |if |we |could, |we |
would |not |know |how |the |client |absorbed |the |experiences. |We |know |that |people |perceive |events |
idiosyncratically |and |then |distort |memories |over |time" |(Hill).

-An |interpretation |does |not |have |to |be |correct |only |plausible |(Frank |& |Frank, |1991).



Accuracy |Issues |of |Interpretation.. |- |CORRECT |ANSWER✔✔--Hill:

~Client |has |an |"aha" |moment |and/or |sees |something |in |a |new |way

~Client |states |that |something |meaningful |has |been |discovered

~Additional |information |is |presented |by |the |client |that |supports |the |interpretation
