Which consultation type involves the consultant and consultee jointly developing a plan, with the consultee implementing the intervention?

• A. Triadic-Dependent
• B. Collaborative-Dependent
• C. Collaborative-Independent
• D. Crisis Incident Stress Management

Answer: (B)

The scenario centers on sharing problem-solving and planning between the consultant and the consultee, with the consultee ultimately carrying out the intervention. This is the collaborative-dependent approach: both professionals join forces to design the plan, and the consultee implements what they’ve planned, guided and supported by the consultant. This arrangement builds the consultee’s skills and autonomy while keeping implementation under their direction. The other models don’t fit as well. A triadic approach involves three participants and can emphasize different dynamics or client involvement rather than joint planning with the consultee as the implementer. Crisis Incident Stress Management is a specific post-crisis intervention protocol rather than a general consultation framework. A collaborative-independent model would imply the plan is developed collaboratively but implemented independently, which doesn’t align with the described joint planning plus consultee-driven execution.
