Which of the following is an explanation for the clinician's illusion?

A) Clinicians recognize that because people tend not to think clearly and objectively about their own stressors, they assume that most people are not able to deal effectively with their own stressors.
B) Clinicians are used to dealing with other clinicians, and thus they assume that most people are well-balanced, resilient, and perfectly able to handle their own stressors.
Incorrect. There is nothing in the textbook that addresses this as an explanation for the clinician's illusion.
C) Clinicians realize that their "fees" are usually going to be paid for by insurance companies, and thus assume that their clients will be highly motivated to improve as rapidly as possible so that they don't "run out" of benefits.
D) Clinicians tend to see only those who react emotionally to stress, so they overestimate people's fragility and underestimate their resilience.

Answer: D
