Question 20

Which of the following statements concerning the sex of a therapist is MOST accurate?

Accepted Answer

The most accurate statement is that if a client believes the sex of the therapist is important, it is important. Different clients may have different preferences or needs regarding the sex of their therapist, and it is important for therapists to be aware of and respectful of those preferences.
