These questions were written to be asked in Toronto on 2023-11-13,
and should be interpreted accordingly.
On each question you may give up to two answers, but if you give
both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
Please post all your answers in a single followup to the newsgroup,
based only on your own knowledge. (In your answer posting, quote
the questions and place your answer below each one.) I will reveal
the correct answers in about 3 days.
All questions were written by members of the Usual Suspects and
are used here by permission, but have been reformatted and may have
been retyped and/or edited by me. The posting and tabulation of
current-events questions is independent of the concurrent posting
of other rounds. For further information please see my 2023-05-24
companion posting on "Questions from the Canadian Inquisition
(QFTCI*)".
I did not write either of these rounds.
* Game 8, Round 4 - Science - Psychotherapies and Therapists
Name the therapist or therapy method described in each case.
1. Who was the early associate of Freud who broke with him and
developed what he called "individual therapy"? It identifies
feelings of inferiority as the root of neurosis, and attempts to
guide the patient away from an unfruitful quest for superiority
and into a more healthful interest and involvement in society.
Name him.
2. This treatment approach uses techniques such as reinforcement,
punishment, and desensitization to bring about therapeutic goals.
3. This therapy was developed by American psychiatrist Aaron Beck
and teaches clients to identify and challenge unhelpful
beliefs and so-called "automatic thoughts", often by using
daily thought diaries.
4. This American psychologist originated so-called person-centered
therapy and popularized the term "counseling" -- principally
because, at the time, "psychotherapy" was limited to doctors.
His therapeutic techniques centered on the alignment and trust
between client and therapist, and, in contrast with <answer 2>,
on personal experience, feelings, and freedom.
5. This therapy was developed in the 1940s and '50s by the American
Fritz Perl and others, drawing on an earlier trend in psychology
that emphasized restoring balance between the parts of a whole.
Its name comes from a German word for shape or pattern.
6. Now regarded by professionals as a pseudo-therapy, this approach
was created by Arthur Janov [J as in "jam"] and purported to
treat neurosis by having the client re-experience childhood
trauma, sometimes loudly. John Lennon claimed to have benefited
from it.
7. Name the Austrian physician and Holocaust survivor who founded
logotherapy, oriented toward finding meaning in life, even in
difficult circumstances.
8. <answer 7>'s logotherapy and Abraham Maslow's humanistic
therapy are branches of which broader school of psychotherapy?
It took insights from philosophers such as Kierkegaard,
Nietzsche, and Sartre, and it sees psychological issues as
part and parcel of one's personal development and experience
of being in the world.
9. Name the author of "The Road Less Travelled", which was published
in 1978 but didn't become a best-seller until several years
later. Appropriately, it emphasized delayed gratification --
as well as discipline and acceptance of responsibility.
10. This Scottish psychiatrist, the co-author of "Sanity, Madness
and the Family", was influenced by <answer 8> and believed
(at least for a time) that schizophrenia was a reaction to
dysfunctional circumstances rather than an organic illness.
Though the label "anti-psychiatry" was applied to him by others,
he rejected this characterization of his ideas.
* Game 8, Round 6 - Canadiana - Parking in Toronto
1. Street parking in Ontario is regulated using three types of
zones -- No Parking, No Standing, and No Stopping. In Toronto
the majority of No Standing zones are located near what common
roadside feature?
2. Name any situation when you are allowed to stop in a No
Stopping zone.
3. In what additional situation are you allowed to stop in a No
Standing zone?
4. When you buy a ticket from a pay-and-display machine or when
the parking rules change due to the time of day, how long a grace
period do parking officers give you before you get ticketed?
5. Unless signed otherwise, what is the longest you can legally
park on a street in Toronto?
6. Which one of No Parking, No Standing, and No Stopping zones
allows consideration in some situations for vehicles displaying
an accessible parking permit (i.e. for what we used to call
handicapped or disabled drivers)?
7. For what reason does pay-and-display parking in many areas on
Sundays not start until 1 pm?
8. Cases of disputed parking tickets are tried at only one
courthouse. Which one? (Name or address.)
9. If a parking fine is not paid, what recourse does the city have?
10. If the police have your car towed, and you don't reclaim it,
how long is the towing company required to keep it before it
can be sold off?
and should be interpreted accordingly.

both a right answer and a wrong answer, there is a small penalty.
