to the generalist-eclectic approach?
a. Workers should seek the highest level of education in a singular
therapy to be effective.
b. Environmental factors such as a clients’ family, job status, or
education level should not be taken into account.
c. Creating obstacles at checkpoints in therapy to evaluate if the client
is able to successfully navigate them independently.

are subscribed to each of these approaches. C, These are not the four broad
approaches to eclecticism specified by the book. D, These are not the four broad
approaches to eclecticism specified by the book.
