Therapeutic deception means...

A representation that sexual contact or exploitation by the LPC is consistent with a client's counseling
Misleading a client for their own benefit during therapy sessions
Providing false information about the effectiveness of certain therapeutic techniques
Convincing a client to engage in harmful behaviors to confront their issues

The correct answer is: A representation that sexual contact or exploitation by the LPC is consistent with a client's counseling

Therapeutic deception refers to a scenario where a licensed professional counselor (LPC) misleads a client by making them believe that sexual contact or exploitation by the LPC is in line with the client's counseling or treatment. This practice is considered unethical and prohibited in the counseling field due to the potential harm it can cause to clients. It is crucial for LPCs to maintain professional boundaries and always prioritize the well-being and ethical treatment of their clients. Options B, C, and D do not accurately capture the definition of therapeutic deception and are therefore not the correct answer to the question.
