Which of the following is the BEST example of developing discrepancy? “How do you expect to stay in our treatment program if you cannot take your medication as prescribed?” “You keep saying that you want to stop your drinking but if you do not comply with treatment, how could you expect to stop?” “How does drinking fit or not fit with your goal of improving communication between you and your partner?” “On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 is extremely important, where would you place the importance of changing your drinking?”
