identifying the client’s strengths and limitations
establishing rapport and creating an environment of trust
continuously evaluating progress toward the client’s goals
exploring feelings about the termination phase of the relationship
Number 3 is correct.
Continuously evaluating progress toward the client’s goals is part of the working phase of the relationship. During this phase the therapeutic work of the relationship is accomplished. Identifying the client’s strengths and limitations occurs during the orientation (introductory) phase. Exploring feelings about the termination phase of the relationship is accomplished during the termination phase itself. The main task of this phase is bringing a therapeutic conclusion to the relationship.
