The clinician would like to make the I-message less threatening to the client and accomplishes this by:
A) ​Judging the client's motives
B) ​Appeasing the client
C) ​Collaborating with the client
D) ​Providing the client with a solution

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Collaborating with the client will involve working together to come up with a mutually agreeable solution, rather than the clinician providing the client with a solution or making judgments about the client's motives. This approach can help to reduce the perceived threat of the I-message and facilitate a positive outcome. Appeasing the client may not necessarily address the underlying issue or lead to a long-term solution.
