Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Identifying discrepancies between what the client says is important and what the practitioner believes is important is not typically useful in a therapeutic or counseling setting. The focus should be on the client's perspective, values, and behaviors rather than on aligning these with what the practitioner believes is important. The other options (B, C, D) involve identifying discrepancies that can be useful in understanding the client's issues, inconsistencies in their narratives or behaviors, and areas where the client may not be fully aware of their own patterns, which can be valuable in the therapeutic process.
