Question

Matt is wrapping up his last session of the day. Its dark, raining out and prime traffic hour. The client’s family insists he just stays over for dinner. That way the traffic will at least slow down by the time he leaves. Matt knows if he stays it will like save him an hour off the commute home so he accepts the offer. This is an example of what kind of dual relationship?

Answer 1

Answer:

Social.

Explanation:

A dual relationship is described as a relationship that involves several or multiple roles or relationships between the client and the therapist other than their therapist-client relationship. 'Social dual relationship' exemplifies a type of dual relationship that involves a friendly or any other social relationship between the client and the therapist.

As per the given situation, 'social dual relationship' has been exemplified here as 'the client's family's insistence to Matt(therapist) to stay over for dinner' and Matt's acceptance of the offer reflects that they share a friendly and affectionate bond other than their client-therapist relationship. Thus, the 'social' dual relationship is the answer.
