When a 35-year-old client wants help with relationship issues, you collect an extensive assessment that includes information on parents, previous relationships, and close friendships. You are hoping to establish:
  1. A case against the parents, so that your client knows it’s not his fault.
  2. The fact that the client has never really separated from primary support
  3. A pattern of relational discomfort or continued awkwardness
  4. An opening so that the client can find some hope in his past
Explanation
Answer - D - While establishing a pattern of relational discomfort might be telling for you as a therapist, getting information about when building relationships has been successful (exceptions to the rule) may be more helpful when searching for solutions. Clients are also more likely to respond if therapy begins by building on current capabilities.
