The Greater the Therapist's Level of Differentiation, the Better Able

The greater the therapist's level of differentiation, the better able the therapist is to maintain a nonanxious presence with clients. A nonanxious presence refers to:

A) a therapist who does not overreact to strong emotion and is able to reflect before reacting.
B) a therapist who is free and clear from any and all mental problems.
C) a therapist who works better when his/her own emotions run high and who is aware of any countertransference.
D) a therapist who maintains a cold and detached stance that allows the clients to fully explore themselves without the influence of the therapist.
