Which model conceptualizes addiction as a chronic brain disease?
Disease Model
Cognitive Model
Social Learning Model
Moral Model
The Disease Model frames addiction as a chronic brain disorder with biological underpinnings. Other models focus on moral judgment, learned behaviors, or cognitive processes rather than disease.
What communication strategy involves reflecting back a client's statements to ensure understanding?
Confrontational dialogue
Directive advice
Closed-ended questioning
Reflective listening
Reflective listening requires the counselor to mirror or paraphrase what the client says to confirm understanding. This contrasts with confrontation, unsolicited advice, or closed-ended questions.
Which ethical principle requires counselors to protect client information?
Confidentiality
Justice
Fidelity
Autonomy
Confidentiality obligates counselors to safeguard client disclosures. Autonomy refers to client self-determination, justice to fairness, and fidelity to trustworthiness.
Which screening tool assesses the severity of alcohol use?
AUDIT
PHQ - 9
SASSI
MMPI
The Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) is specifically designed to measure severity of alcohol consumption and related problems. MMPI and SASSI assess broader psychological profiles, and PHQ-9 screens for depression.
Which is a core skill of motivational interviewing?
Advice giving
Open-ended questions
Direct confrontation
Closed directives
Open-ended questions in MI invite clients to explore and elaborate on their own motivations. Confrontation and directive advice are discouraged, while closed directives limit client reflection.
Which theory suggests substance use behaviors are learned through observation and reinforcement?
Disease Model
Social Learning Theory
Transtheoretical Model
Moral Model
Social Learning Theory posits that behaviors, including substance use, are acquired by observing others and through reinforcement. The other models focus on disease, stages of change, or moral judgments.
Which communication strategy uses 'I' statements to express empathy without assigning blame?
Confrontational dialogue
Directive advising
Closed questioning
Use of I-statements
I-statements allow counselors to convey empathy and personal perspective without blaming the client. Confrontation and closed questions often inhibit open dialogue, and directive advising can undermine client autonomy.
Which ethical principle requires the counselor to act in the best interests of the client?
Justice
Autonomy
Beneficence
Fidelity
Beneficence is the duty to promote good and act in the best interests of clients. Autonomy respects client choice, justice ensures fairness, and fidelity focuses on loyalty and trust.
Which stage of change is characterized by lack of intention to change behavior?
Preparation
Precontemplation
Contemplation
Action
In the Precontemplation stage, individuals are not considering change and may be unaware of problems. Contemplation involves ambivalence, Preparation involves planning, and Action is active change.
In relapse prevention, what skill involves practicing alternative behaviors when facing triggers?
Coping skills training
Psychoanalytic interpretation
Tolerance building
Aversion therapy
Coping skills training teaches clients specific strategies to replace substance use when confronted with triggers. The other options do not directly focus on teaching adaptive responses to high-risk situations.
Which assessment tool measures client readiness to change across stages?
CAGE
AUDIT
DAST
URICA
The University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (URICA) assesses which stage of change a client is in. AUDIT and CAGE screen for substance use severity, and DAST screens for drug abuse generally.
In motivational interviewing, what client speech indicates movement toward behavior change?
Sustain talk
Neutral talk
Change talk
Resistance talk
Change talk reflects client statements in favor of change, signalling readiness. Sustain talk argues for status quo, resistance talk opposes the counselor, and neutral talk is neither.
Which model outlines stages including precontemplation, contemplation, and maintenance?
Biopsychosocial Model
Disease Model
Cognitive Behavioral Model
Transtheoretical Model
The Transtheoretical Model describes stages of change from precontemplation to maintenance. Cognitive Behavioral focuses on thought - behavior links, Biopsychosocial integrates factors, and the Disease Model sees addiction as illness.
Before discussing client cases in supervision, the counselor must:
Seek peer review anonymously
Obtain client consent
Discuss only group summaries
Alter identifying details randomly
Ethical practice requires obtaining client consent prior to sharing case details in supervision. Altering details or discussing group summaries do not substitute for informed consent.
Which nonverbal behavior most effectively fosters client engagement during sessions?
Tapping foot
Maintaining appropriate eye contact
Constantly checking the clock
Folding arms
Appropriate eye contact conveys interest and presence, facilitating trust. The other behaviors can distract or signal disengagement.
A client reports difficulty resisting substance use in social gatherings. Which relapse prevention technique is most appropriate?
Aversion therapy
Stimulus control
Pharmacotherapy
Punishment schedule
Stimulus control involves modifying or avoiding environments that trigger use. Aversion therapy and punishment are less practical in social contexts, and pharmacotherapy addresses symptoms rather than triggers directly.
A counselor discovers a client's history of childhood abuse and must breach confidentiality due to mandatory reporting. Which ethical principle guides this action?
Autonomy
Justice
Confidentiality
Duty to protect
The duty to protect requires counselors to report situations where clients or others are at risk, overriding confidentiality. Confidentiality itself would forbid disclosure without mandates.
Which assessment approach integrates client interviews, collateral reports, and biological measures?
Projective testing
Multimodal assessment
Single-case study
Unimodal screening
A multimodal assessment combines multiple data sources - self-report, collateral information, and biological measures - to yield a comprehensive view. The others focus on a single method or research design.
In motivational interviewing, using a reflection that adds substantial meaning or emphasis to what a client said is known as:
Simple reflection
Interpretive listening
Complex reflection
Direct reflection
A complex reflection goes beyond repeating words to infer meaning or emotion, deepening client exploration. A simple reflection repeats or slightly rephrases, without additional interpretation.
A holistic approach addressing biological, psychological, and social factors in addiction is called:
Social Cognitive Model
Biopsychosocial Model
Moral Model
Disease Model
The Biopsychosocial Model integrates biological, psychological, and social influences on addiction. The Disease Model focuses only on biological factors, and the Moral and Social Cognitive Models have narrower emphases.
