t/f: the correct life balance for each individual includes an even distribution of pleasure, productivity, and restoration

false; combines all the approaches

t/f: the highest-quality practice is the client-centered practice

true

t/f: the key to a successful combination of opposing approaches was to always keep the goal-setting process oriented to the occupational priorities of the client, and to keep assessment and intervention at a broad occupational level

true

t/f: the most powerful and meaningful intervention is one that allows the client to determine what goals are important to him or her

true

t/f: the questions that facilitate discussion in cognitive remotivation are geared to the vocabulary, literacy, IQ and/or cognitive ability of the client/patient making it an effective approach with all types of persons

true

t/f: there is a point at which attempting to reclaim a particularly valued occupation in an area in which one is no longer competent could actually degrade self-concept and should therefore be avoided

false; do not include these!! it should be completed based on how the activity is typically done
