When Doug begins to tell you about the things he has attempted in order to reconcile his marriage, you begin to understand that he has involved many people, including family friends, in-laws, cousins, and others. You begin to understand:
  1. The extent to which you must attempt to rebuild the relationship
  2. That the system may need to be seen in its entirety
  3. This particular client’s willingness to work at something he believes in
  4. How much time this could take
Explanation
Answer - C - Doug very clearly believes in his marriage. Keep in mind that it won’t be your work that rebuilds his marriage, as much as it will be his work. With so many contributing to the overall wellness and supporting the couple, it is impractical to consult the entire system. Time is less of an object when working with something of importance for many couples and for the therapist, there is less concern about time.
