ANS: C
The four most common forms of concluding relationships with clients are (1) transferral, (2) referral, (3) termination, and (4) client discontinuation. In the first three, you and your clients openly discuss the ending process and jointly determine the best course of action given the circumstances. These are the preferred modes of ending. The fourth form, quite common in many agency settings, is exclusively client initiated. Often with good reason, clients may decide to stop meeting with you.
