Licensed Chemical Addictions Counselor Study Questions

Category - Licensed Chemical Addictions Counselor Practice Test

To assess families while establishing a possible suicide risk for a client which assessment is recommended?
  1. FTQ.
  2. Genogram.
  3. Family interview.
  4. A & C.
Explanation
Answer: B - The genogram would be the most appropriate instrument to establish a possible suicide risk linked to the family. It is done by the counselor and in most cases the client. However family members could contribute to better provide a comprehensive history of two generations of family behavior. Any suicides would be indicated to establish any suicidal pattern. Though the family interview should not be discounted the dynamics of a family involved with chemical and drug abuse could easily have been affected by the disease thus reducing the trust needed to reveal accurate family history to a stranger.
