Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Treatment

Mark is 20 years old. He is engaging in therapy because he has always had an interest in psychology and wants to examine how he could benefit. As a therapist, you might begin with Mark by talking about:
  1. What he hopes to get from therapy
  2. How he came into school for studying
  3. His family history
  4. The true self
Explanation
Answer - A - While he has a strong interest, he has yet to really identify any goals for therapy. While it is always helpful to have someone who sees the importance and need for therapy, it is even more important as his therapist to have a direction, since he may be looking to see where you will take his treatment. Then again, you’ll want to watch for the client’s ability to participate in his own treatment planning and include him at every opportunity.
