his or her needs. Correct Answer-Assessment
2. A client tells a counselor that she is unhappy with the way her

b. talk to the client about possible denial
c. refer the client for more appropriate treatment
d. draw up a new contract with the client
e. discuss these concerns with the client and make necessary changes in
treatment goals.
This is one of those "more than one correct" responses. A, b, c, and d
could be considered the right thing to do. However, doing the "e"
response would include all four of the others.
3. A female client reports that she has some concerns about the
relationship between her husband and her 14-year-old daughter from a
previous marriage. She reports that her husband and daughter frequently
argue, that her daughter refuses to take direction from her stepfather, and
that her daughter regularly complains about her stepfather's "faults" and
,describes how her biological father is better. The MOST relevant
professional to whom a referral should be made is a: Correct Answer-a.
Social worker.
b. Clinical psychologist.
c. Licensed professional counselor.
d. Marriage and family therapist.
e. School psychologist.
While all of the other professionals may be helpful, there is no guarantee
that they would
4. A key factor for counselors to consider is that in a counseling

d. To not become involved in a dating relationship until the client has

e. To use differential power to get the client to try new behaviors.

and purpose of use based on the client and their needs. The "a" response
is the best choice to answer the question.
, 5. A pretreatment period is frequently the result of waiting lists or client
reluctance to become fully engaged in primary treatment. What might be
a danger of this pretreatment period? Correct Answer-a. The
pretreatment period may be when clients lose interest in treatment.
b. A client may receive enough help so as not to need the services of the
program or agency.
c. Successful pretreatment may result in a client needing services that an
agency doesn't have, thus losing the potential admission.
d. Typically, pretreatment services are not paid for by insurance
services.
e. There is really no danger with pretreatment - recovery will require
much more programming than pretreatment can offer.
Losing a client's interest is the biggest concern we always face in the
field. Denial, delusion, "feeling better" are always good excuses not to
get help. Not being able to engage the client quickly and get them started
is always a risk.
