A therapeutic relationship refers to the close and consistent association and interaction

between the client and the therapist. This relationship is essential since it determines the

extent to which the client shares their beliefs, thoughts, and emotions, which helps tailor the 

treatment to the unique needs of the patients. Usually, a therapeutic relationship is fostered on

trust, genuineness, respect, and empathy (Paris, 2015). The therapist shows empathy and

must be genuine such that they disclose all the treatment information to the patient. Some

ways I would foster a therapeutic relationship with the patient include; involving the patient

in setting treatment goals, avoiding being judgmental, and discussing the possible client

concerns that would affect the efficacy of the intervention, to name just a few. There are

various differences when sharing the diagnosis with individuals, families, and groups. For

instance, when sharing the diagnosis with an individual, one does not have to seek consent
