Start a Study Session Sign up for Question of the Day
When a family arrives for their intake session, the therapist greets them with, “Hi, I wonder what brings you in today.” The difficult job here is that:
  1. The family is beginning to feel pre-judged
  2. He is not creating an environment of safety
  3. Listening is not always this therapist’s best quality
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - Beginning with clinical questions around the problem can lead to people feeling judged, alienated, and not listened to. When people are judged, there is no safety in the environment and the client needs to work on being heard, rather than the therapist working to listen.
