, EXAM QUESTIONS FOR
THEORIES OF PSYCHOTHERAPY AND COUNSELING: CONCEPTS AND CASES
FIFTH EDITON, RICHARD S. SHARF
Most of the multiple choice questions are about important concepts and their application. I have tried to vary the
type of question and difficulty level. I have included a very few questions about details of cases described in the
text. The numbers next to the answer indicate that it is the correct answer and show on what page of the text it can
be found. A few correct answers have no specific page reference and correct answers are indicated with an *.
Instructors may wish to change the order in which the questions are presented, as the order sometimes gives a clue to
the correct answer. Typically, I have listed them in the order that they occur in the text. Questions comparing one
theory to another will be found throughout. However, questions from Chapter 16 include only questions that
compare one theory with another. Perhaps the best instructions are: Please choose the best answer from the choices
that are given. Students may view practice questions on the Cengage*Brooks/Cole website for students. There are
10 questions for each chapter. None will be repeats of these questions.
Please remember to delete the page numbers when creating a test!
