Which of the following behaviors, although frowned upon, would still be legally permissible for a psychologist?
Explanation
Answer: D - Just as an individual who is not mandated to seek treatment can quit therapy at any time, a therapist likewise is not obligated to continue seeing a client/patient if he or she deems it would not be in either one’s best interest. However, early termination of therapy against the client’s/patient’s wishes can be unnerving for that person. So therapists who feel they need to do so should do it tactfully and preferably refer the person elsewhere, should additional therapy be advisable. The other behaviors described in Options A, B, and C are all expressly forbidden.
