Chapter 1
1. As cited in Cloitre et al., (2012), long-term individual psychotherapy is the treatment of choice for severe and
complex trauma. However, this approach may itself create limitations on therapeutic outcomes. This is due to which
of the following?
A. The failure to assign clients and therapists on the basis of gender at the initiation of services.
B. The unequal power dynamics between client and therapist such as the experience of being subordinated by a
more powerful person.
C. An over-emphasis on the client's capacity for self-regulation rather than upon the primary and over-riding goal of
reducing symptoms.
D. The therapists inability to provide a safe space where open discussion can take place.
