The DBT model proposes that a successful counseling intervention must meet five critical functions. Which of the following is not one of these functions?
a. Improve and preserve the client’s incentive to change
b.Boost the client’s capabilities
c.Ensure the client’s capabilities are specific to his or her environment
d.Structure the environment so that the treatment can take place
c.Ensure the client’s capabilities are specific to his or her environment is not one of the five critical functions.
1. Improve and preserve the client's incentive to change. It is frequently the individual counselor who maintains the client's motivation for treatment because the counselor is the most significant individual for the client.
2. Boost the client's capabilities. Skills are acquired, strengthened, and generalized through the combination of skills groups, phone coaching, coaching, and homework assignments.
3. Ensure that the client's new capabilities are generalized to all relative environments.
4. Enhance the counselor's motivation to treat clients while also enhancing the counselor's skills. Counselors enhance capabilities and avoid burnout through weekly consultation meetings and supervision.
5. Structure the environment so that the treatment can take place. For example, the client and the counselor may meet with family members to ensure that the client is not being reinforced for maladaptive behaviors or punished for effective behaviors in the home.
