A client who has been mandated to treatment by the court expresses resentment and states they do not have a problem. The counselor's BEST initial approach is to:
-
A
Confront the client's denial firmly to break through resistance
-
B
Use motivational interviewing to explore ambivalence and build intrinsic motivation
-
C
Inform the court immediately that the client is non-compliant
-
D
Accept the client's self-assessment and focus on court requirements only
