Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

As a narrative therapist, you have encountered a client who believes that his colleagues at work have it out for him. He would rather not go to work anymore and telecommute. You might help him explore his fear by encouraging:
  1. Sincerity in approaching his coworkers
  2. Permission for things to be different
  3. Contentedness
  4. Discursive presence
Explanation
Answer - D - Discursive presence will encourage your client to examine the social norms in his place of work so that he can watch how others interact with one another to gauge whether or not the actions taken against him are actually out of dislike or out of workplace social habit. Your client is not especially ready for permission for things to be different. He may see this as encouragement to telecommute. And his contentedness is obviously at low levels at the moment; examining it would only reinforce its negative aspects.
