Question:
A client has been meeting with a social worker for 6 months around issues of anxiety and depression. The client has met all of the agreed upon treatment goals and the social worker brings up the topic of termination. The client becomes tearful and states that she doesn’t want to end therapy as she is sure her life will go back to how it used to be. What is the BEST course of action for the social worker to take?
A
(C)Normalize the client’s concerns and discuss gradually decreasing the frequency of therapy
explanation
The correct answer is C: to normalize the client’s concerns and gradually decrease the frequency of therapy. A and B are incorrect because they do not acknowledge that this is a normal reaction to therapy, nor do they work to move the client towards termination in a clinically appropriate way. D is incorrect because best practice would be to gradually decrease the frequency of therapy to build the client’s sense of competence, not just to have one final session.
