Question 1 of 50 · Score so far: 0

1. A therapist has seen a client for three years. The client's small business is failing, and he asks the therapist to invest $5,000 "as a friend — you know I'm good for it." He becomes angry when the therapist hesitates, accusing her of "only caring about the hourly fee." The BEST response is to: A) Invest a token $500 to preserve the alliance during his crisis B) Decline the investment, acknowledge the rupture risk directly C) Terminate and refer, since money requests corrupt the treatment irreparably D) Offer a session-fee reduction instead, converting the request into a treatment issue
