Describe the client in a “customer relationship”.
What will be an ideal response?
In this instance, the therapist has developed a joint definition of the problem with the client, and the client accepts his or her role in the solution and seems motivated to work in therapy. The client has high motivation, but he or she has no well-formed goals. The client says: “Something has got to change.” de Shazer (1985) and his colleagues have constructed a task that helps the clinician to put the focus squarely on the client and his or her resources. It is called the “do something different task.” This task gives the client permission to be spontaneous and creative in taking steps to resolve his or her problems.
