The lead clinician often determines which counselors see new clients. What factors determine placement?
  1. Counselor’s area of expertise; matched to presenting problem
  2. Age and gender of client
  3. Caseload of counselor
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - Many factors determine placement of new clients with a counselor. It is important for a good fit between client and counselor to achieve a healthy therapeutic alliance. The presenting problem and the counselor’s area of expertise might determine placement, as well as age and gender of client. Some female clients prefer seeing a female counselor; others may prefer a male counselor. A counselor’s caseload may determine placement as well. Adding to an already full caseload can create counselor burn out and a lessening of client success.
