Assertion (A) : Group memebrs can learn that they are worthy of love and caring, and that people will treat them differently from how they were previously treated.
Reason (R) : Group becomes the context through which members deal the painful experiences they had as members of their families of origin.

Codes :

  • A.Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A)
  • B.Both (A) and (R) are true but (R) is not the correct explanation of (A)
  • C.(A) is true but (R) is false
  • D.(A) is false but (R) is true

Answer: A

The key is both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).

The two statements describe what Irvin Yalom calls the corrective recapitulation of the primary family group, one of the therapeutic factors of group work. Members tend to relate to the worker and to one another as they once related to parents and siblings. Because the group becomes the setting in which those painful family experiences are relived and dealt with (R), members can find that they are treated differently this time and that they are worthy of love and care (A).

So (R) is the mechanism behind (A), not merely a separate true statement, which rules out the other three codes.
