Your third client who is a 40+ female with four kids, is conflicted about leaving a domestically violent relationship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though all three clients might have a similar presentation of anxiety and depression, you would sensibly approach therapy differently. The real question about conditional knowledge isn&#8217;t about the awareness of needing to adapt to differing contexts, but it&#8217;s more about the <em>when<\/em> and <em>how<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;If [x], then [y]&#8221; is a crude and simple way to think about conditional knowledge. <br><br>If [x] changes, then your [y] changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The second and third types of knowledge are more <strong>relational than analytical<\/strong>.
