There Are Core Skills That RCs Facilitate During Therapeutic Interactions

Multiple Choice

There are core skills that RCs facilitate during therapeutic interactions. Which of the following represent some of the most important counseling tools for use in building a therapeutic working alliance with a client:

A) The foundation of the counseling relationship is built upon the principles of respect, warmth, cultural understanding, genuineness, congruency, authenticity, and positive regard. Establishing a strong client-counselor relationship is critical to the working alliance.
B) The foundation of the counseling relationship is built upon "truth in disclosure." Thus, it is critical that RCs first initiate all appropriate paper work and forms that explain client rights and responsibilities.
C) The foundation of the counseling relationship begins with challenging the client's thoughts, feelings, and emotions related to their chronic illness and/or disability. RCs who can assist their client in breaking through denial and negative coping mechanisms typically begin to earn client trust.
D) Building a strong therapeutic alliance begins with motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral strategies. Most all other approaches rarely work because they do not work with the holistic needs of the client.
