OBS

"Role induction" in the field of counselling (psychology) refers to the act or process of initiating and introducing someone to or informing someone else of one's exact role pertaining to a service that is to be provided. Such a precaution serves not only to assuage the apprehensiveness of some clients with still some misgivings, but also to protect counselors against clients who might be misled into thinking that success is guaranteed.
