You have a client who is in denial regarding their mental illness. Progress in therapy is slow and the client’s insight is not really improving. You begin viewing termination as imminent. Which is an important way you could go about building insight with the client?
  1. Reiterating family accounts of the illness
  2. Ask the client to consider the choice they made to seek therapy
  3. Tell the client what you observe and reiterate your education and credentials
  4. Building insight with this client would not be possible
Explanation
Answer - B - Often, taking clients back to why they chose therapy (for those who chose) can have an especially large impact on what comes up for them and how willing they are to move forward. Since motivations change over time, more motivation might be present after a look back.
