1. Which of the following is needed to meet criteria for criterion A for PTSD? Directly experiencing a traumatic event(s). Witnessing, in person, a traumatic event as it occured to someone else. Learning that a traumatic event occurred to a close family member or friend. Any of the above could meet criteria for criterion A for PTSD. 2. While there are several benefits to adopting a dimensional model of classification for psychopathology, which of the following demonstrates a weakness of dimensional models? Cut-off points in dimensions are often arbitrary. Dimensions are less exact than categories. Dimensions don't capture the complexity of mental disorders. Dimensions don't provide information about severity. 3. Which of the following is most accurate regarding genetics and psychological disorders? Psychological disorders are complete genetic and inherited. Genetics do not matter, as psychological disorders are entirely explained by environmental causes. We do not inherit a psychological disorder, but rather inherit a genetic predisposition that puts us at risk for the disorder. A specific gene for each psychological disorder has been identified. 4. What is a compulsion? An anxiety disorder. Reassurance seeking. Action engaged in because it is enjoyable. Action engaged in to reduce anxiety associated with an obsession. 5. Which of the following best reflects cognitive-behavioral therapy? A client presents with irritability and angry outbursts toward women. The therapist works with the client to help bring repressed memories of negative interactions with their mother into conscious awareness. A client presents with alcohol abuse. A therapist has the client smell an alcoholic beverage and then immediately shows them an aversive image. This is intended to elicit a negative response to alcohol, and hopefully decrease its intake. A client presents with depression. The psychiatrist prescribes them an SSRI. A client presents with social phobia. The therapist works with the client to challenge distorted cognitions (e.g., "No one will ever like me") and gradually exposes them to anxiety provoking social situations.
