You are practicing client-centered therapy with a family that is very authoritarian in nature. It is the fourth week and they have shared that this is uncomfortable for them. You are obligated to determine whether the discomfort comes from:
  1. Your choice to pursue how you practice or client perception of the issue here
  2. Parents only, children only, or the entire family
  3. Authority figures or the idea that you can live without tyranny
Explanation
Answer - A - While it sounds like this is a client perception issue, because you had an idea of where you wanted to go, you still owe it to the family to determine where the discomfort is coming from so that you can address it, keeping in mind that addressing it does not always mean changing your method, especially if the family is in need of it.
