A Client Lives in Daily Fear of Having Another Psychotic

question 36

Multiple Choice

A client lives in daily fear of having another psychotic episode after not having one for over 10 years. She says that it is her illness that keeps her from moving forward in life. The therapist says, "That's interesting. You say you haven't had an episode in 10 years, so hallucinations don't seem to be plaguing you these days. It sounds like the worry about hallucinations is the problem at this point. Do you think of this as part of the original problem, or is it a new problem that only developed after the first was resolved?" What is the therapist doing with the client?

• A) Mutual puzzling
• B) Sharing inner dialogue
• C) Making an appropriately unusual comment
• D) Being public
