What is an example of cultural clash in a therapeutic setting?
  1. The client, who is a recent immigrant to the westernized world of the United States, asking about payment at the end of session
  2. The client, who is a recent immigrant to the westernized world of the United States, does not understand the expectation of payment for therapy services
  3. A parent does not understand their teenagers use text message abbreviations
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: B - Cultural clashes are often inevitable, when working with clients from diverse cultures, backgrounds, and ethnicities. For example, a client who is new to the United States, and the Western world, may be surprised to find that people pay for counseling services, as, these services are free of charge, in other parts of the world. To avoid cultural clashes like this, information needs to be conveyed at the onset of the therapeutic relationship.
