Mpho, a Therapist in a Community Agency, Recently Divorced His

Multiple Choice

Mpho, a therapist in a community agency, recently divorced his wife and seems to be angry towards women in general. His colleagues, who have noticed a change in his attitude and behaviour lately, have encouraged him to seek personal counselling to work through his issues. They are:

A) overreacting to his anger and are overstepping the boundaries by suggesting he go to counselling.
B) unwise to suggest counselling since he will not benefit from it because he is a therapist and already knows how to deal with his problems.
C) acting ethically by recommending counselling for Mpho; as counsellors, they recognise that personal issues that have not been worked through are likely to be projected onto clients.
D) being unsupportive colleagues; since they are aware of his situation, they should offer to provide counselling to him and not refer him to a professional outside of the agency.
