Question: The gray line in Figure depicts the Mental Health Index for a fictional client in relation to several benchmarks. Use the information supplied in Figure to answer the following questions:

a. Describe the trajectory of the client's Mental Health Index over the course of the therapy sessions.

b. Provide a possible explanation for the trajectory described in part (a).

c. Based on the benchmarks depicted in the graph, would you recommend that the client continue therapy?

Graph as Therapy Tool Some graphs allow therapists to compare the actual rate of a client's improvement with the expected rate given that client's characteristics. This client (Assessed Mental Health Index in gray) is doing worse than expected (expected treatment response in red) but has improved enough to be above the failure boundary (in yellow).
