Chang, a middle-aged Chinese-American woman, tells her American physician that she thinks she has heart disease. Her symptoms include breathlessness, fatigue, and trembling. After a complete physical, Mrs. Chang's doctor tells her that her heart is fine but that he thinks she may be suffering from feelings of anxiety and depression, and he refers her to a psychologist. One barrier that Mrs. Chang may face in Western-style psychotherapy is that she may:
A) prefer to deal with a female rather than a male therapist.
B) believe that negative thoughts should be denied rather than explored and may be resistant to discussing intimate feelings with a stranger.
C) believe that she should become more independent, and thus may resist becoming dependent upon her therapist.
D) be unwilling to focus on her own needs rather than the needs of her husband.
