A
49
Q

Technique: Directive Versus Nondirective Styles

  • Can sacrifice rapport in favor of information
50
Q

51
Q

which is better; nondirective or directive

A

Best strategy involves balance and versatility

* Using only a nondirective approach can facilitate rapport but fall short of gathering specific information

52
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

A
  • Open- and closed-ended questions
  • Clarification
  • Confrontation
  • Paraphrasing
  • Reflection of feeling
  • Summarizing
53
Q

open vs close ended questions

A

Open-ended question – “What more can you tell me about the eating problems you mentioned on the phone?” may take the interview in a different direction than a
Closed-ended question, such as, “How many times per week do you binge and purge?”
such as, “How many times per week do you binge and purge?”

54
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

clarification

A

purpose of this question is to make sure the interviewer has an accurate understanding of the client’s comments. Clarification questions not only enhance the interviewer’s ability to “get it,” they also communicate to the client that the interviewer is actively listening and processing what the client says. Sometimes, it’s better to wait than to immediately demand clarification

55
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

confrontation

A

Interviewers use confrontation when they notice discrepancies or inconsistencies in a client’s comments. Confrontations can be similar to clarifications, but they focus on apparently contradictory information provided by clients

56
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

paraphrasing

A

used simply to assure clients that they are being accurately heard. restate the content of clients’ comments, using similar language.
“I only binge when I’m alone,” → “so You only binge when no one else is around?”

57
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

reflection of feeling

A

echoes the client’s emotions .“I only binge when I’m alone” was delivered with a tone and body language that communicated shame—her hand covering her face, her voice quivering, and her eyes looking downward—the interviewer might respond with a statement such as “You don’t want anyone to see you bingeing—do you feel embarrassed about it?” Unlike paraphrasing, reflecting a client’s feelings often involves an inference by the interviewer about the emotions underlying the client’s words.

58
Q

Technique: Specific Interviewer Responses

summarizing

A

usually involves tying together various topics that may have been discussed, connecting statements that may have been made at different points, and identifying themes that have recurred during
the interview. Like many of the other responses described in this section, summarizing lets clients know that they have been understood but in a more comprehensive, integrative way than, say, paraphrasing single statements.

59
Q

conclusion made by clinical interviewer
