Ellen-Marie, as a graduate student in Speech Language Pathology, I greatly appreciated your insightful article. It has certainly brought many questions to mind. I am wondering what, as clinicians, are we to do with clients, particularly adults, who are not "willing to participate," and are only seeking therapy for the reasons described? At what point is it the responsibility of the clinician to discharge these clients from therapy, and should we even make that call? To what extent, if at all, should we attempt to push a client who we feel is "unwilling" to participate in intervention?
