Variable Victor can never quite decide which weeks he wants to come to therapy. Whenever there is what might be considered a breakthrough, Victor makes up what feels like an excuse the next week. When working with Victor, what might be your next step?
  1. Help Victor to understand your schedule
  2. Treat Victor’s behavior as an affront to you, personally
  3. Explore Victor’s resistance openly and be open to his readiness
  4. Bill him for the missed appointments, even when he cancels on time
Explanation
Answer - C - How ready is Victor to explore his resistance? You may not be sure, but exploring it openly can be an important piece of his recovery. If he is able to address it with you, it will be his way of moving forward and participating in his recovery more fully and completely by demonstrating a coping skill.
