Dear Dennis,
Thank you for your answer. I agree, they are all important. Client-centered approach focuses on the client/patient factors though as a humanstic model and point of view.

Dear Dr. Alsaid,
Thank you for your comment and participation.
Significant factors include past experiences, a variety of cognitive biases, an escalation of commitment and sunk outcomes, individual differences, including age and socioeconomic status, and a belief in personal relevance. These things all impact the decision making process and the decisions made. The DECIDE model is the acronym of 6 particular activities needed in the decision-making process: (1) D = define the problem, (2) E = establish the criteria, (3) C = consider all the alternatives, (4) I = identify the best alternative, (5) D = develop and implement a plan of action, and (6) E = evaluate and monitor
