A parent has been coming to you for therapy for over two years now. He has really been able to open up and access some important issues and has made significant progress. He would like to know if you would be willing to write a letter supporting supervised visits with his children. You explain:
  1. That he’d be better off hiring a more expensive attorney
  2. Why the letter is a bad idea
  3. How the judge is likely to view such a letter
  4. What information would need to be shared in order to write a letter for him
Explanation
Answer - D - Whenever a client asks you about your ability to write a letter of support, it is always best to be clear about what you will be saying so that there are no surprises, and how you may be addressing some issues. While you may not always seek his approval or share a draft before you are finished, you want to let him see the finished product so that there are no surprises.
