As a client, it is important for the clinician to inform you of these things during your first session:
  1. Client rights, confidentiality, and diagnosis
  2. Client rights, confidentiality, and fees
  3. Confidentiality, fees, and treatment plan
  4. Therapeutic approach, treatment plan, and diagnosis
Explanation
Answer: B - It is essential for a therapist to provide a new client with information regarding client rights, confidentiality, and the fees, including whether insurance is accepted, or sliding scale policies. Some therapists operate from a specific therapeutic approach, which the client may be informed about prior to, or during the first session. Additionally, clients may be provided with a diagnosis and/ or treatment plan during the first session (or following sessions), but this does not always occur in the initial session.
