You have been treating Roberta for six months, helping her to grieve the death of her father. After the six months, Roberta shows significant signs of improvement. However, you want to make more progress with Roberta and would hate to lose her as a client. Your ethical obligation is to:
  1. Terminate therapy
  2. Modify the progress you’ve seen in the client
  3. Continue therapy as if nothing is happening
  4. Let Roberta know about the other issues you see
Explanation
Answer - A - Whenever you are looking to extend therapy for your own personal benefit, either financially or for the professional experience and depth, you must remind yourself that this is not your therapy. The therapy belongs to the client who trusts you to make decisions as to when she’s finished in therapy and depends upon you to be truthful in that.
