CRC Exam (Certified Rehabilitation Counselor)

A rehabilitation counselor works to be genuine, to accept the client without conditions, and to accurately sense the client's inner world. Which approach emphasizes these as the conditions for change?

1. ARational emotive behavior therapy
2. BReality therapy
3. CPerson-centered therapyCorrect
4. DPsychoanalytic therapy

Why: Carl Rogers proposed that congruence (genuineness), unconditional positive regard, and empathic understanding are the conditions that facilitate therapeutic change, which is the core of person-centered therapy. REBT centers on disputing irrational beliefs, reality therapy on present choices and behavior, and psychoanalytic therapy on unconscious conflict and insight.

A CRC administers a timed clerical aptitude test with extended time as an accommodation for a client with a disability. According to the CRCC Code, how should the CRC handle the results?

1. AReport the scores exactly as if the test had been given under standard timing
2. BNote the nonstandard conditions in the interpretationCorrect
3. CDiscard the scores because any nonstandard administration invalidates them
4. DAdd points to the score to offset the effect of the extra time allowed

Why: Standard H.6.a says that when tests are not administered under standard conditions, as may be necessary to accommodate individuals with disabilities, those conditions are noted in the interpretation and results may be designated invalid or of questionable validity. Reporting as standard hides the change, automatic discarding is not required, and altering scores has no basis in the Code.
