Talkative Tyler is a terribly tormented teenager. However, as much as things are bothering him, he is ritually refusing his requirement to release his ranting and raving. When something like this happens, the therapist must be able to:
  1. Leave his personal feelings out of it
  2. Empathize before deciding to end treatment
  3. Terminate therapy without any hard feelings
  4. Provide the best level of care (including empathy and attention) that is possible
Explanation
Answer - D - It sounds simple: providing the best level of care possible. However, paying attention and providing empathy to a teenager who is providing the silent treatment can be more difficult than it appears. Terminating makes things more difficult in the face of complications and there is not necessarily a guarantee of keeping personal feelings out of therapy, hard as therapists may try.
