In the collaborative model method, the emphasis is on collaboration and the psychologist allows the client room to tell his story in order to get to the core of the problem and a solution. The client is asked to actively think about solutions.

Question 2

Diagnosis-prescription model: the client has little room for this, and sometimes a diagnosis is made too quickly.

Collaborative model: the client can resist because he/she only wants advice
