When it comes to Ericksonian therapy, it is an especially useful treatment intervention when:
  1. Clients have responded to little else
  2. Everyone involved believes in hypnotism
  3. Systems need to be able to contradict themselves
  4. Coping skills are unavailable
Explanation
Answer - C - When individuals or systems are looking for opportunities to contradict themselves, and do not feel like they have the room to do so in therapy, Ericksonian therapy can be especially helpful, since it relies on using the resistance to change in order to bring it about. The system will cope with the change as it exists, since the resistance will have turned to acceptance.
