Working with a dual diagnosis patient using Ericksonian techniques could be difficult because:
  1. There isn’t enough resistance when working with a dually diagnosed population
  2. Erickson uses intentional relapse as a method of growth
  3. They recall too many things from the past
  4. Patients have a hard time forgiving themselves
Explanation
Answer - B - As humans, we are not perfect. Ericksonian therapy is a great reminder of that fact. However, when it comes to working with patients who are dually diagnosed, there is a great threat around the issue of relapse. For instance, when someone who is dually diagnosed relapses, there is a great deal of shame, anxiety, and fear that does not always come with other types of mistakes clients may make. Be cautious when using intentional relapse as a therapeutic technique.
