7. 2 QUESTIONS FOR 890
What types of empathetic counseling interventions would
you employ in working with this client that had three no-
shows, cancelled two times, and late two times for
mandated advisement appointments, and does not
understand the gravity of his actions.?
Termination: I tried twice to terminate the mandated
sessions by contacting my METRO Supervisor. The
Supervisor decided to take his case. What would you do?
