Question

Carol and Renata are in the client waiting room of a new center focused on the treatment of depression. While talking, the women realize that although they both have similar symptoms of depression, their life experiences were very different. What concept is best reflected in the women’s story?

Answer 1

Question options:

a) equifinality

b) circumplex model

c)learned helplessness

d) epigenetics

Answer: EQUIFINALITY

Explanation: Equifinality can be defined as an event or process that says that a given particular goal can be achieved in many different ways.

Carol and Renata both have the same end goal (depression), same symptoms of depression, but different life experiences. This clearly and perfectly explains equifinality, a goal, (depression) achieved through various ways( different life experiences).
