After several months in marital and family therapy, the alcoholic spouse suffers a relapse. The MOST useful approach to the couple is:


Select one:
a. Frame the relapse as a sign that marital family therapy was moving too quickly, and it would be good to get back to the basics of early recovery
b. Inquire what the non-addicted spouse might be doing to enable the return of drinking
c. Frame the relapse as a sign of resistance to marital family therapy and consider with the couple what aspects of treatment are not working
d. Consider that family therapy may be needed since the basis of the relapse may be rooted in dynamics that involve other members of the family
