Large sample size research studies show that there is a substantially higher dropout rate after just one therapy session for minority group clients than for Caucasian clients. This disturbing phenomenon can be primarily traced to what factor?
  1. Less comprehensive diagnosis assessments for minority group clients.
  2. Less experienced therapists being assigned to the minority group clients.
  3. Inappropriate treatment being recommended more often for minority group clients.
  4. Poor professional interaction between the therapist and minority group clients.
Explanation
Answer: D - Studies show that the main reason why fewer minority group clients than white clients return for therapy after their first session is poor professional interaction between the therapist and client. The therapist’s and client’s culturally based beliefs, attitudes, and goals are out of sync and the client picks up on it.
