    that they might receive help.
    Potential divorces are sent for marital
    counseling by the court also

    the need for help or an improved life-style
    Still some are referred for academic or
    vocational counseling

    All clients have expectations of varying levels
    Some clients expect rapid help and change

    nothing will make a difference in their outlook
    and behavior

    stifle a potential feeling of guilt

    is the reluctant client
    Reluctunt Client
     One who does not want to receive counseling but
    finds him or herself in the counseling situation
     Not cooperate to make change and results
    difficult to achieve
     According to Dyer and Vriend, unavoidable
    process in every effective treatment, for that part
    of the personality that has an interest in the
    survival of the pathology actively protests each
    time therapy comes close to inducing a successful
    change
    Reluctance may sometimes manifest itself in
    hostility of the client, absenteeism, non-
    cooperation, strained civility, and other
    creative forms
    Some clients are reluctant because of
    suspicion
    Others are reluctant because they do not want
    to change
