Marital and Family Therapy

Bullet Bob wants therapy to be a quick fix. He is in quite the hurry. After six weeks, Bob is getting anxious. He doesn’t see any improvement and so he asks you as his therapist if you see any improvement. One of the best ways to handle this question is to:
  1. Avoid it; therapy takes time
  2. Turn the question back to the client, letting them sit with their feelings
  3. Forget how long the client has been in therapy
  4. Refer Bob to a solution-focused practitioner
Explanation
Answer - B - When a client is especially anxious about the progress of therapy, it can say different things, but primarily, it indicates that the client is not happy with how things are progressing. It could be that Bob has trouble with patience, particularly when it comes to getting what he wants. Bob could benefit from some patience training, since therapy is almost never a quick-fix process.
