Hey Guys,

Between B and C . I chose C because the passage tells us about an approach (play therapy) along with an example in 3rd paragraph.
i thought psychological and psycho-dynamic are two different treatments. Later i realized "emotional upset" is psychological.

A form of psychodynamic treatment, play therapy takes for granted the fact that, once aided in expression, children are able to resolve their anxieties themselves.

The only definition of play therapy provided is - a form of 'psychodynamic' treatment. No mention of the word psychological. Please explain.

Thanks for your detailed answer andrew.
Still some confusion:

The question states that "which of the following is a reason that play therapists help disturbed children express their emotions?"
Ill try to reword the question stem - "Why do play therapists help children"

play therapy takes for granted the fact that, once aided in expression, children are able to resolve their anxieties themselves.

My confusion is when the This therapy do not appreciate something as much as they are supposed to (take for granted) i.e children can resolve issues once aided, how can it become a reason for the practitioners of such therapist to do so. Why would they do it ? they might do it, but the tone makes it as if it is not the reason.

Am I overthinking ? guess we shouldn't fret much on unofficial questions.

Hello again, hero_with_1000_faces. I think you are getting caught up too much in a connotation of the expression take for granted. Many times, people do use it in reference to appreciation. In the context of this passage, however, the same expression is akin to assumes, no appreciation insinuated. Read the line in question as follows, and I think the pieces will fall into place:

play therapy assumes that, once aided in expression, children are able to resolve their anxieties themselves

I understand how you could be confused if you thought that appreciation had something to do with the matter at hand. I would not call this overthinking, but misinterpretation. Such a usage of take for granted is not as common as its appreciation-laden counterpart in everyday speech, at least not in the U.S.

If you have further questions, feel free to ask.

- Andrew



MentorTutoring thanks a lot andrew, learning something new from you today. Very happy!

You put a lot of efforts in your answers :)

1. According to the passage, which of the following is a reason that play therapists help disturbed children express their emotions?

(a) because children express themselves through a different medium than adults.

I too had doubt about the above question. I look at the question this way, why is therapist able to help children express their emotions? - that's because children express their emotions in their own medium and play therapy does that.

if the question is asking how why therapist is able to help children by expressing their emotions then the answer will be D.
i look at it this way
Step 1. let children express emotions - "Children express themselves through a different medium than adults"
step 2. solve children's issue because - "Children can resolve their own anxieties once they have been aided in expression."

and the question is only asking a reason therapist help children express their emotions, which is on step 1.

I think this is a poor-quality question and I don't agree with the explanation. Going through trauma does not make a person different, neither does it puts a person in the category of "disturbed children"

Option B states - "psychological treatment."

Whereas Paragraph 1 states - "psychodynamic treatment" are these the same?

I will like to differ with option B being correct due to the above gap.


Experts/sayantanc2k, can you please comment on this point?

I havent chosen answer D because i was confused by the word "examples". there is just one example so i thought this is a trap and chose A because there was no other convincing choice. Am i super pedantic or is the word "examples" incorrect and there should be "example" ?



I chose A for the same reasoning. There is just one example.


V05-10 Option D amended. Thank you for pointing out.

Is this correction also reqd for choice C of ques 4 (primary purpose) as OE does not highlight this fact that the option C uses "examples" but the passage only give one example? Or may be amend the OE?

I also think that "takes for granted" is too vague in this context.
