Which of the following is NOT a violation related to therapeutic deception?

The assertion that explaining personal beliefs during therapy is not a violation related to therapeutic deception is accurate because engaging in therapeutic conversations about personal beliefs doesn't necessarily manipulate or deceive the client. In fact, discussing values and beliefs can be an important part of the therapeutic process, as it helps to build rapport and understand the client's perspective.

Therapeutic deception typically involves actions that exploit the client's trust or manipulate their emotions in a way that is unethical, such as engaging in sexual activity with a client or misrepresenting motives behind therapeutic actions. These other options involve direct manipulation and crossing professional boundaries, which are significant violations in a therapeutic setting.
