His current thinking is contributing to the feeling of mistrust he has against CPS. “(CPS is out to get me because I 'm black).” It is possible he is overgeneralizing and jumping to conclusions. Ethical dilemmas At this point, I 'm not as comfortable as I would like to be to use CBT in practice. I would first like to continue role-playing with my classmates before using it on a real client.
