None The boy in the video felt rejection when his mother beat him in the card game. True False None When the boy in the video put on the ghost costume, he was conveying to his mother that she does not see him for who he is and he does not receive the value he seeks from her. True False None When presenting an overview of the EPT model to parents and the dominate parent disagrees with the concepts, the best way to handle the situation is to: Plead with the other parent to try this model because their child needs it so desperately. Address the parent’s concern and recommend that they may want to consider another approach. Tell them that EPT is the only approach that will help their child with the specific problem. Paradox the parents by saying that no other approach will solve their child’s issues. None In EPT, if the therapist asks the parent if the child is displaying lying, stealing and cheating behavior, the next question should be: What type of items does the child like to steal?

None When the mother in the video asked her son how many cards are in a deck, she was controlling him with content questions so that she could avoid her own emotionality.

True False None The mother starts to create a task with the marbles, so the therapist said what statement to get the mother refocused: The task of making the marbles a circle is not the purpose here. The valuable marbles are like the value in your son. You have the nicest son I have seen in play therapy. When you play with your son, he feels more valued. None The mother in this case was able to change because when she was led in the direction of her son’s needs, her son responded with attentive behavior until she disrupted this process with a task statement which the therapist redirected back to the relationship.

All of the above happening together. None One of the purposes that the boy was trying to communicate to his mother was that he is a good athlete and wanted his mother to appreciate this skill.

True False None We want to know the history of the presenting problem because: It tells the therapist the style of onset of the current issue: if it was acute or chronic. It a way to get to know the parents’ relationship with each other. It tells the therapist what the parents have tried to alleviate the behavior problem. A and C above. None EPT is more effective when parents (caregivers) are involved more directly in the therapeutic process. True False None The parent with the most control over the child has the best chance for positive outcome in EPT.
