You are working with an Asian client. The client has suffered from mental illness for a long time, but has not sought help and is in the hospital now only because of physical problems
From your knowledge of the Asian culture, you suspect that this client was reluctant to seek help for the mental illness because the client was: a. afraid of Western, modern medicine administered predominantly by Caucasians
b. fearful of a terminal diagnosis
c. not wanting to lose control
d. of the opinion that the best healing source lies within the family
D
Many Asian cultures believe that the best source of healing lies within the family and that it may even be counterproductive to seek counseling or therapy outside of one's family. This belief may be exacerbated by the fact that such counseling methods stem from a Western model, which is not in tune with the healing model traditionally found in Asian cultures.
