Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Empathic failures can occur when the clinician reflects the wrong content, feeling, or meaning, potentially harming the clinical relationship. They are also more likely to happen when there are cultural or sociocultural differences between the clinician and the client, as these differences can lead to misunderstandings or misinterpretations of emotions or experiences. While such failures do not always destroy the clinical relationship, they can create significant barriers to effective communication and trust if not addressed properly.
