To reduce your new client's anxiety about completing a test battery that you will be administering to him as part of your initial assessment, you show the client three of the Thematic Apperception Test (TAT) cards before administering the test to him. This is:
a) Acceptable as it helps to alleviate anxiety and build rapport.
b) Unacceptable, as it may compromise the validity and reliability of the TAT.
c) Recommended to ensure the client's comfort during the assessment.
d) Common practice and encouraged to enhance the client's engagement in the testing process.
