Genuineness refers to the ability to be open, consistent, and real in the relationship with the client. This means being authentic and sincere in interactions, without putting up a facade or pretending to be someone else. Genuineness helps build trust and rapport with the client, as they feel that the therapist or service provider is being honest and transparent. It also allows for a more meaningful and effective therapeutic relationship, as the client feels comfortable expressing themselves and discussing their concerns openly.Rate this question:
