Anthony Hinostroza · Accepted Answer

Final Answer : D, Explanation :  Choice D demonstrates cultural sensitivity by recognizing that certain cultures prioritize the collective over the individual. This understanding can affect the therapeutic approach, as the therapist may need to work with the client in the context of their cultural values rather than imposing the therapist's own individualistic values. Choices A, B, and C do not demonstrate cultural sensitivity as they involve imposing the therapist's values on the client.
