Why might a clinician decide to use an Eclectic approach to counseling?
  1. No single theoretical model has proven itself superior to the rest
  2. Certain approaches to treatment are more effective than others with particular problems
  3. The growing importance of brief solution-based approaches
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer - D - There is an array of factors leading to a clinician deciding to have an Eclectic approach to counseling. Despite attempting to identify one theory as better than all the rest, it has not been found. However, much research has shown that certain types of therapy do work better than others for certain types of problems (i.e., depression responds very well to Cognitive therapy, while nail biting is resolved through Behavior therapy).
