Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This question targets the concept of secondary gains related to dependency. Option D directly asks the client how their specific relationship with their spouse has benefited them, which can reveal potential secondary gains. Option A is a closed-ended question that assumes dependency issues have been a lifelong concern, while option B asks about anxiety, which may not necessarily relate to secondary gains. Option C is also a closed-ended question that does not directly address secondary gain concerns.
