Task-centered therapy takes place on a short-term basis, usually 6 to 12 weeks. It focuses on problems and behaviors, not emotions. A clinical social worker does not direct the client; rather, the professional and client collaborate to define problems and solutions. What assumption is crucial to task-centered therapy?
  1. People do not have adequate resources to solve their problems.
  2. Financial obligations are an underlying issue to many problems.
  3. Individuals do not have the desire to solve their own problems.
  4. Problems occur within family, individual, and environmental systems.
Explanation
- Task-centered therapy rests on the assumption that people want to solve their issues and have the resources to do so. Individual, family and environmental systems may facilitate or block resolution. Behaviors are changed outside of the session.
