question 18 (2.5 points)
an ethical obligation that provides a major link between ethics and self - care is ______.
○ countertransference
○ personal therapy
○ competence
○ the therapeutic relationship
question 19 (2.5 points)
client dependence is less of an issue ______.
○ when the therapist is in control of the session
○ with the growth of managed care, brief treatment, and restricted number of sessions

Explanation:

Question 18

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Countertransference: Involves therapist's emotional response, not a link to self - care and ethics.
• Personal therapy: Is a form of self - exploration but not the major link between ethics and self - care.
• Competence: Ethical obligation as professionals must be competent, and self - care (like ongoing learning, self - awareness) is part of maintaining competence. This links ethics (obligation to be competent) and self - care.
• Therapeutic relationship: Focuses on client - therapist interaction, not the link to self - care and ethics.

Analyze the options:

• "When the therapist is in control of the session": Therapist control doesn't directly reduce client dependence.
• "With the growth of managed care, brief treatment, and restricted number of sessions": Managed care, brief treatment, and limited sessions limit the time for client dependence to develop as there's less long - term engagement.

Answer:

C. competence
