When a counselor is trying to determine the client's presenting concern,a common mistake of a new counselor is ____________________________________.

A) focusing on a rigid problem definition
B) getting bogged down in too few definitions of the problem
C) defining the problem from the client's worldview
D) viewing the client from a multicultural perspective

Focusing too rigidly on a problem definition can limit a counselor's ability to see the issue from the client's perspective and may lead to missing important information. It is important to remain open and flexible in the initial stages of assessment to fully understand the client's presenting concerns. Getting bogged down in too few definitions of the problem, defining the problem from the client's worldview, and viewing the client from a multicultural perspective are all important considerations but are not specifically related to the mistake of a new counselor in determining the client's presenting concern.
