Interventions to restore a client’s sense of control over trauma reactions include all except:
A. EMDR
B. Composite Intervention Theory
C. Sensorimotor psychotherapy
D. CBT
Answer: C — Sensorimotor psychotherapy
Rationale: EMDR, CBT, and many integrative/composite intervention approaches explicitly
target cognitive/emotional processing and regaining control. Sensorimotor work focuses on
bodily processing and somatic integration (helpful in trauma) but is not primarily framed as
“restoring cognitive control” in many intervention taxonomies.
Of the various risk factors for PTSD, Friedman argued that one of the following was especially
strong. Which was he referring to?
A. Betrayal
B. Gender
C. Genetics
D. Severity
Answer: D — Severity
Rationale: Friedman emphasized that the objective severity and intensity of the traumatic
exposure strongly predict PTSD risk (dose–response relationship).
The therapeutic relationship in trauma work:
A. Is stabilized at the very beginning of sessions
B. Cannot be universally characterized
C. Evolves over time
D. Is essentially like any business relationship
Answer: C — Evolves over time
Rationale: Trust and safety develop across sessions; trauma therapy relies on gradual
strengthening of alliance, not an immediate fixed bond.
Accuracy of recall for a traumatic event depends upon all of the following except which one?
A. The event’s intensity
B. The event’s predictability
C. The intensity of emotion tied to the event
D. The centrality of the event to the person’s life
Answer: B — The event’s predictability
Rationale: Memory accuracy is affected by intensity, emotional arousal, and centrality.
Predictability influences expectancy and trauma response but is not a direct determinant of
recall accuracy.
