Question

Providing supporting and reassuring feedback to let clients know they're appreciated is important during the closing of an interview with a young client. It helps to establish a positive therapeutic relationship and shows that the therapist values the client's contribution to the session. A and E may be appropriate during the session but not necessarily during the closing of the interview. B is not appropriate as the informed consent and confidentiality should have been discussed and agreed upon at the beginning of the therapy. D is not appropriate as expressing countertransference reactions may be confusing or invalidating to the client.
