Marital and Family Therapy

Category - Law & Ethics

One of the risks involved in discussing alternatives to therapy is that clients:
  1. Will choose an alternative, rather than therapy
  2. Manipulate therapists to make promises they can’t keep
  3. Cannot understand what alternatives are available to them
  4. Begin to lose trust in the therapist
Explanation
Answer - A - While it’s true that clients may in fact choose an alternative other than therapy, you must be able to feel confident that you were able to give all of the information required for an informed consent consideration. It’s not possible that clients will not understand alternatives available, since you will have explained them. Losing trust will not be possible, since you have allowed yourself the openness to explain everything.
