Gino comes to therapy in order to discuss what he feels is unfair about his family’s immigration to this country forty years ago. In order to provide Gino with a more accurate diagnosis, but still hear his concerns, you decide to take Gino on a walk of his old neighborhood, so that he could describe which aspects he most appreciates. What was appropriate about this intervention?
  1. It allowed Gino to bring himself into the present moment, addressing concerns.
  2. It gave the therapist a sense of the severity around the issue of acculturation.
  3. It gave the therapist and client a chance to visit the important places.
  4. Nothing; such an intervention should never be pursued when assessing a client.
Explanation
Answer - B - Bringing himself into the moment was important. However, the therapist’s ability to visit multiple areas is irrelevant, since it is the client whose experience is integral. Since the experience took place forty years ago, the most appropriate piece of the intervention was that it allowed the therapist to understand just how much acculturation should be considered when continuing Gino’s treatment.
