Topic: After the Intake In chapter 7 of the Ripley and Worthington’s textbook, 4 questions are suggested when considering treatment planning for couples who have been through the initial intake with the counselor. The way a counselor answers these important questions will give shape to the entire treatment process; thus these questions are very important.
From the 4 questions, select 1 to answer. Explain why you feel it may be the most important, as well as the possible dangers or problems that might occur if a counselor does not answer it early. In your thread, you will use 1 supporting resource you have found on the topic (Appropriate, Fit, Typical and Relevant), in addition to the primary textbook.
Your thread must be at least 500 words.
