All of the choices can contribute to treatment failure. When the therapist and client's personal issues become intertwined, a shared conflict can make it difficult to make progress. Similarly, if the treatment relationship mirrors dysfunctional patterns that occur in the client's other relationships, the client may struggle to break free from these patterns. In addition, a rupture in the working alliance, which refers to the collaborative relationship between therapist and client, can lead to treatment failure as well. Therefore, all the choices are correct.
