Psychosocial IntegrityPregunta 51 de 120
A client with depression states, "I feel like a burden to everyone." Which response is most therapeutic?
a."Tell me more about how you have been feeling."
b."You shouldn't feel that way; everyone loves you."
c."Let's talk about something more pleasant."
d."At least you have a supportive family."
Explicación
Encouraging the client to say more invites expression of feelings and conveys genuine interest. Minimizing feelings, changing the subject, and comparing to others block communication. Open-ended exploration is therapeutic.
