Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Practice

Forming a therapeutic alliance can be achieved by all of the following, except:
  1. Knowing how to sit with silence
  2. Pointing out when time is up
  3. Making a referral to a trusted colleague
  4. Rejecting the client’s premise for therapy
Explanation
Answer - D - When working with clients who believe that therapy can help them in a different way than you anticipate or than they were referred for, it is not especially helpful to make sure not to discount the work that they are able to do with you because they may have a different idea of what’s happening for them. Holding limits is different from sharing that you do not believe or cannot understand the client’s needs.
