When working with parents and children to establish a therapeutic alliance, it is most important that you present yourself as someone who:
  1. Wants very much to fix the kids
  2. Places no blame and is willing to examine from all angles
  3. Believes in the dad’s ability to make changes that could really turn around
  4. Will be the one to fix their son or daughter, no matter the cost
Explanation
Answer - B - Children often feel as if they are being punished for having done or said something they shouldn’t have and as we’ve shown previously, it can go a long way to work with parents around the concept that they are not to blame. You do not want to broadcast yourself as a magician who can fix emotional issues (D) or as someone who believes that they need it (A). Instead, work with all family members as they are.
