You see couples and families in your practice. You just finished an appointment with a couple who decided to put their child on a contingency contract. You see a couple now who could benefit from the same treatment. How do you approach it?
  1. You don’t; contingencies are only for kids.
  2. Anyone can benefit from contingencies; bring it up to them.
  3. Find a way to make it sound much more appealing to adults
  4. Very carefully; they are liable to leave therapy.
Explanation
Answer - B - The idea behind contingencies is “If you do this, then I will do that” or “If you do this, then you will be able to do that.” It works with anyone, regardless of the person’s age or state in life. Every human is externally motivated, although the motivating factors may change.
