TOP 2000 QUESTIONS ---- MAINS

Direction: Read the given short passage carefully and answer the questions that follow.
L
Assessing whether a psychological treatment causes harm can be surprisingly difficult, and
intuition is an unreliable guide. Take the popular school programme Drug Abuse Resistance
Education (DARE) founded in Los Angeles in 1983. The idea of DARE, consistent with the wider
SA
‘war on drugs’ in the United States, is straightforward: uniformed police officers visit classrooms
to warn children and teens about the dangers of drug and alcohol use, thereby reducing
underage use of alcohol and illicit substances, or so it is hoped. On the surface, DARE appears
to be potentially beneficial and unlikely to harm. However, in 2001, the US surgeon general
deemed DARE ineffective. Decades after it was developed, and despite millions of dollars spent
annually on its implementation, the data indicated that DARE was no better than doing nothing.
N
Or was it worse than that? Was DARE potentially leading to an increase in alcohol and drug use
among children and teens? The history of interventions such as rebirthing and DARE highlights
BA
important questions that should concern anyone involved in therapy, clients and therapists alike:
how do we know if a certain treatment or intervention helps people as proclaimed, or if it is
ineffective, even potentially harmful? And whom do we trust to make these judgments?
A more obvious form of harm is when a treatment causes short-term deterioration in clients, with
no prospect of any long-term benefit, and sometimes the chance of longer-term harm. A clear
example is ‘cathartic interventions’ that promise relief by directing people to express difficult
A
emotions in a purge-like manner, such as punching pillows when angry and yelling as loudly as
possible when distressed. Such practices date to the times of Sigmund Freud in the late 1800s
and ‘primal scream therapy’ in the 1970s, and lend themselves to the rising popularity of ‘smash
H
rooms’ in which people pay to ‘therapeutically’ destroy items such as televisions and toasters
with a hammer. Despite their popular appeal, copious research indicates that, as a means of
dealing with difficult emotions, these approaches have the opposite of the intended therapeutic
IS
effect.
Furthermore, most often the therapists providing these treatments are unaware of their harmful
effects. This is also likely the case for therapists who recommend mindfulness interventions to
their clients without reservation, failing to consider that, in a minority of users, mindfulness can
IM
cause adverse events such as anxiety, depression and unpleasant dissociation.
The reality is that many healthcare providers lack the scientific training necessary to understand
the statistical and methodological nuances of clinical trials.
N
We urge therapists to remember that good intentions are not sufficient for fulfilling their ethical
duty to do good (beneficence) and to do no harm (nonmaleficence). We also remind them how
commonly confirmation bias can cause one to make overly optimistic armchair assessments of
client improvement. If and when evidence emerges that a treatment they use has the potential
to harm, clinicians __________________________________________.

109. Why possibly could Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) not come out as very
effective and successful therapy?
a. Maybe because ‘information-only’ interventions do little to inspire motivation and

behaviour change.
L
b. Maybe because it was not constrained by the lack of availability of clinical trials.
SA
c. Maybe because the presence of uniformed, armed police actually made the program
more adversarial than educational, especially for children who had police-involved
experiences outside of the classroom.
N
A. Only a and b
B. Only a and c
C. Only b and c
D. All a, b and c
E. None of a, b and c
(Answer - B. Only a and c

BA
a - Correct.
Uniformed police officers visit classrooms to warn children and teens about the dangers
A
of drug and alcohol use.
That means it was an ‘information-only’ intervention.
H
Hence, a can be the possible reason behind its failure.

c - Correct.
Refer to - Uniformed police officers visit classrooms to warn children and teens about the
IS
dangers of drug and alcohol use.

Hence, it's a potentially possible reason.
b - Incorrect.
IM
It's contradictory.
If something is not constrained(limited) by the lack of availability of clinical trials, it
should succeed.)
N
110. Explain the concept of 'cathartic interventions', as expressed in the above passage.
a. The thought behind is that feelings build up and create pressure if not vented, in the
same way air builds up in a balloon until it bursts.

6
b. Releasing emotions decreases the pressure or tension in the person so they have fewer
negative emotions and are less aggressive.
c. It's based on the theory of emphasizing emotions to facilitate safer and milder
expression of emotions.
L
A. Only a and b
SA
B. Only a and c
C. Only b and c
D. All a, b and c
(Answer - A. Only a and b
N
Refer to - A clear example is ‘cathartic interventions’ that promise relief by directing people to
express difficult emotions in a purge-like manner, such as punching pillows when angry
BA
and yelling as loudly as possible when distressed. Such practices date to the times of
Sigmund Freud in the late 1800s and ‘primal scream therapy’ in the 1970s, and lend themselves
to the rising popularity of ‘smash rooms’ in which people pay to ‘therapeutically’ destroy
items such as televisions and toasters with a hammer.
purge - an abrupt or violent removal of a group of people.

Hence, a and b are absolutely correct.
A
c - Incorrect. It's contradictory.
Destroying items such as televisions and toasters with a hammer can never be milder
H
and safer expressions.)

IS
111. Why should 'cathartic interventions' not be used, according to the above passage?
a. Catharsis involves both a powerful emotional component in which strong feelings are felt
IM
and expressed, as well as a cognitive component in which the individual gains new
insights.
b. Expressing anger create more anger or hostility when compared to groups that are not
permitted to express anger.
N
c. It might serve to reinforce negative behaviors and increase the risk of emotional
outbursts in the future.

7
A. Only a and b
B. Only a and c
C. Only b and c
D. All a, b and c
L
(Answer - C. Only b and c
Refer to - Despite their popular appeal, copious research indicates that, as a means of dealing
SA
with difficult emotions, these approaches have the opposite of the intended therapeutic
effect.
That means, the answer must talk about the therapy negatively.
Hence, only b and c are correct.
N
a - Incorrect. It's talking about the therapy in a positive way.
Refer to - the individual gains new insights.
The word 'insight' is a positive word.
BA
insight - the capacity to gain an accurate and deep understanding of someone or something.)
112. Which of the following statements will strengthen the author's criticism of the
healthcare providers and the therapists?
A
a. Therapists are often much more swayed by their personal, anecdotal experiences than
the scientific literature.
b. Oftentimes the evidence therapists use to judge the efficacy of their interventions (eg,
H
the client says they are doing better, the client ‘looks better’) are the least reliable
indicators for that purpose.
IS
c. While it is clinicians’ responsibility to not provide harmful interventions, individuals

seeking treatment can take steps to protect themselves too.
IM
A. Only a and b
B. Only a and c
C. Only b and c
D. All a, b and c
N

8
Refer to - Furthermore, most often the therapists providing these treatments are unaware of
their harmful effects.
And,
The reality is that many healthcare providers lack the scientific training necessary to understand
the statistical and methodological nuances of clinical trials.
L
Clearly the author has criticized the healthcare providers and the therapists.
a - Correct. It's clearly talking about the negative and conservative approaches of a
SA
therapist.
swayed - affected or influenced.
b - Correct.
c - Incorrect. It's not criticizing the therapists. Rather, it's suggesting individuals to be
N
more careful and protective.)
BA
We urge therapists to remember that good intentions are not sufficient for fulfilling their ethical
duty to do good (beneficence) and to do no harm (nonmaleficence). We also remind them how
commonly confirmation bias can cause one to make overly optimistic armchair assessments of
client improvement. If and when evidence emerges that a treatment they use has the potential
to harm, clinicians __________________________________________.
A
113. Which of the following PHRASES can most appropriately fit in the blank in the above
portion of the passage?
H
a. should reconsider their use of that treatment despite any allegiance they might have to it.
b. should rely on their own perceptions above what has been shown, at scale, scientifically.
IS
c. should discontinue their use of that potentially harmful therapeutic technique no matter
how much they were trained in and felt attachment to it.
IM
A. Only a and b
B. Only a and c
C. Only b and c
D. All a, b and c
N

a and c are almost synonymous.

9
allegiance - loyalty or commitment to a superior or to a group or cause.
b - Incorrect. It's contradictory. The author has heavily criticized the act of relying on
one's own perceptions while giving any specific treatment.)
