Beth is a first-year family therapist who has just started working with clients. One of her clients is in therapy to work through his depression. The client is a 19-year-old male who has just recently moved to the United States from Puerto Rico. The client states that he still has a hard time with the English language, though he understands enough to carry on a conversation. Beth wants to get an

accurate assessment of the client and his problem, but is unsure which type of assessment would be best in this case. What type of measurement should Beth use?

A) Standardized: The client does not fit the cultural norm, so he must be given a paper and pencil test
B) Standardized: Culture has no effect on the validity of standardized instruments
C) Non-standardized: It will give a more detailed and objective assessment based on the client's cultural norms
D) Non-standardized: A detailed self-report is most likely to capture the client's perspective
