If a therapist is unable to communicate with a client in the language that the client prefers, what should the therapist do?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Making an appropriate referral to a therapist who speaks the client's preferred language is the best choice. It ensures effective communication and minimizes the risk of miscommunication or misinterpretation. Having a family member translate at every session or trying to communicate non-verbally may not be feasible or effective, and encouraging the client to communicate in the therapist's language may not be respectful or culturally sensitive.
