As a therapist, you have just experienced a tragic experience in your life. Someone calls you, needing an appointment in order to discuss a similar situation. As a responsible therapist:
  1. You decide to let the client decide if your feelings are too much for him
  2. Your feelings come second, take the appointment
  3. You make a referral; too close to home
  4. You tell the client to call back in three months; you’ll be ready then
Explanation
Answer - C - If you have just experienced a tragic event that is similar to one that you’re being asked to treat, you are not likely going to be able to provide a sound, solid foundation of theoretical practice, given your own personal issues at the time. Knowing that is key to providing sound, ethical service.
