At the end of that time, the crisis is resolved in oneof three ways. In the first two, the person either returns to his or her precrisis level offunctioning or begins to function at a higher level; both are positive outcomes for theindividual. The third resolution is that the person's functioning stabilizes at a level lowerthan precrisis functioning, which is a negative outcome for the individual. Assisting theperson to use existing supports or helping the individual find new sources of support candecrease the feelings of being alone or overwhelmed. The patient may develop guilt ifhe or she examines possible causes for the crisis. Expression of anger at 4 to 6 weeksindicates a less than favorable outcome of crisis intervention.2.A patient who has been working on controlling impulsive behavior shows astrengthening ego through which of the following behaviors?A)Going to therapy only when there is nothing more desirable to doB)Weighing the advantages and disadvantages before making a decisionC)Telling others in the group the right way to actD)Reporting having fun at a recent social eventAns:BFeedback:The id is the part of one's nature that reflects basic or innate desires such as pleasure-seeking behavior, aggression, and sexual impulses.
