I would say that if a T continues to be a "blank slate" to a client who doesn´t respond well to that, he or she should update her knowledge within therapy. The blank slate mode was standard a long while ago and today a lot of studies show interaction and different kinds of response to a client is needed to succeed.


I met with my new nurse who seems to be a bit like a blank slate as she seems to think the client wants to just ramble about. I have already told her how I feel about it and she refrained from the blank slate concept at least when it comes to asking her some general, not private, questions. She then answered to them. But still, I won´t continue with her if she keeps doing the blank slate and "no emotions involved".
