Which client characteristic seems unrelated to outcome?
  1. Intelligence
  2. Age
  3. Education
  4. Socioeconomic level
Explanation
Answer - B - Age appears to be unrelated to outcome in therapeutic treatment. However, intelligence, education, and socioeconomic level all have an impact on successful outcome of treatment. In most treatment modalities, thinking skills, the ability to look at current and past behaviors, and to adapt during treatment are all important parts of the success of the outcome and with limited intelligence, this would be difficult. Education levels again would have an effect on many modalities depending on types of treatment uses. Socioeconomic level may indicate other variables affecting outcome (i.e., transportation issues, payment, and cultural norms for entering therapy, to name a few).
