When clients state that others in their lives are causing their problems and, therefore, there is little that they can do to solve them, De Jong and Berg suggest that it is useful for practitioners to challenge such a point of view as self defeating because it leaves clients situations unchanged.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.

Question 2

According to De Jong and Berg, regardless of the circumstances under which a client is seeing a practitioner (i.e. by choice or via pressure or coercion by someone else), the task of the practitioner remains the same, namely, building a cooperative, working relationship with the client around what the client might want different in his or her life.

Indicate whether the statement is true or false.
