ct! Displacement Identification Rationale: The defense mechanism of displacement involves the discharge of intense feelings for one person onto a substitute person or object that is less threatening to satisfy an impulse. Projection involves attributing an attitude, behavior, or impulse, such as that which occurs in blaming or scapegoating, to someone else. Sublimation is the act of rechanneling an impulse into a more socially acceptable object. Identification involves modeling behavior after someone else's. Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and knowledge regarding the subject, defense mechanisms. Focusing on the data in the question and the child’s behavior will direct you to the correct option. Review these defense mechanisms if you had di fficulty with this question.

What else do you want to talk about today?” Which response would be most helpful during the working phase of the therapeutic alliance? “Sounds fine to me. Let’s meet again in 6 months.” “I don’t believe that you have been following your diet because you haven’t lost any weight.” “Well, you’ve talked about diet in your terms, but perhaps I should test you on specific things.” C

ct! “Some people have added exercise to diet and medication therapy and gotten positive results. Do you think that this would work for you?” Rationale: Although suggestion or overt giving of advice is sometimes nontherapeutic, these strategies are therapeutic when used in the working phase, because in this situation they will increase the client’s perception of all available options in the treatment plan. Answering “Sounds fine to me. Let’s meet again in 6 months” stops the communication process. St ating to the client that he or she has not lost any weight implies disbelief and does not explore the reasons for the client’s failure to lose weight. “Testing” challenges the client and is nontherapeutic. Test-Taking Strategy: Use the process of elimination and therapeutic communication techniques. Noting the words “working phase” in the question will direct you to the correct option. Review therapeutic communication techniques if you had difficulty with this question.
