Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By engaging in dialogue, the helper can encourage the client to actively participate in their own life and find solutions for their problems. This approach empowers clients to take charge of their lives and take actions towards achieving their goals. Listening carefully and remaining passive (choice A) doesn't provide the client with the necessary guidance and support to make changes. Focusing on the client's fantasies (choice B) may not be practical or realistic. Taking an active role in pointing out obstacles (choice D) may come across as confrontational and unhelpful.
