Answer:

Refer the client to a competent counselor to provide treatment to the client.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come with this question:

  • Keep the client on his caseload to learn how to care for people with this behavior.
  • Attend one continuing education session on this behavior and keep the client on his caseload.
  • Refer the client to a competent counselor to provide treatment to the client.
  • Tell the client your case is hopeless.

The best thing that the counselor can do, if he or she does not feel prepared to help this client, is to refer him to a competent counselor. A counselor should only accept to work with a client if he is convinced that it is possible for him to help the client. Otherwise, he would be acting unethically by taking his money without offering appropriate treatment in return.
