Explanation
Answer: A - Ordeals are unpleasant tasks that a client must perform when symptoms occur.
In strategic family therapy, paradoxical interventions such as ordeals are used to help the family see a symptom in a different way. For example, in ordeals, a client might be asked to invite his mother-in-law for a dinner (unpleasant task) every time he yells at his family.
