    interviewing counseling. Brooks Cole.

BEFORE YOU START
  • The first act of a teacher is to introduce the
    idea that the world we think we see is only a
    view, a description of the world. Every effort
    of a teacher is geared to provide this point to
    the apprentice. But, accepting it seems to be
    one of the hardest things we can do. We are
    complacently caught in our particular view of the
    world which compels us to fell and act as if we
    knew everything about the world. A teacher, from
    the very first act performed, aims at stopping
    that view. (Carlos Castaneda)
  • People enslave themselves with their own ideas
    and then win freedom again by reconstructing
    their lives. (George Kelly)

3
Intentionality
  • What would you say in response to the following?
  • Client (talking about conflict on the job)
  • I just dont know what to do about Bob. It
    seems hes always on me, blaming me even when I
    do a good job. Hes new on the job, I know.
    Perhaps he doesnt have much experience as a
    supervisor. But hes got me all jumpy. Im so
    nervous I cant sleep at night, and yesterday I
    even lost my lunch. My family isnt doing well,
    either. Sandy doesnt seem to understand whats
    going on and is upset. Even the kids arent
    doing well in school. What do you suggest I do?
  • How would you respond?

4
Intentionality
  • Different people respond to the same event
    differently according to individual, family and
    cultural background.
  • But some are stuck or immobilized with only a few
    responses which are ineffective.
  • Intentional interviewing is not concerned with
    which single response is correct, but, with how
    many potential responses are helpful.

5
Intentional Interviewing
  • Acting with a sense of capability and deciding
    from a range of alternative actions.
  • The intentional individual has more than one
    action, thought, or behavior to choose from in
    responding to changing life situations.
  • The intentional individual can generate
    alternatives in a given situation and approach a
    problem from different vantage points, using a
    variety of skills and personal qualities,
    adapting styles to suit different cultural
    groups.

6
Cultural Intentionality
  • People of different racial/ethnic groups, of
    varying language, gender, spiritual orientation,
    sexual preference, age, degree of ability, and
    socioeconomic class may respond to helping
    interventions in different ways.
  • Diversity is becoming the mainstream.
  • In addition, those who have experience trauma
    (war, rape, child abuse, etc.) may represent
    distinct cultural groups.
  • How might each group be stuck or immobilized and
    what would be our goals as helpers?

  • Development of the clients own unique potential.
  • Development occurs in a family and multicultural
    framework.

Intentional Interviewing and Counseling
---Different theories call for different patterns
of skill usage. --Different situations
call for different patterns of skill
usage. --Different cultural groups call for
different patterns of skill usage.
DETERMINING PERSONAL STYLE AND THEORY
SKILLS INTEGRATION Sequencing skills
in different theories
Five Stages of the Interview 1.
Rapport/Structuring 2. Defining the problem 3.
Defining a goal 4. Exploration of alternatives
confronting incongruity 5. Generalization to
daily life
INFLUENCING SKILLS AND STRATEGIES,
Interpretation/Reframe, Logical consequences,
Self-disclosure, Feedback, Information/Advice,
Directives
REFLECTION OF MEANING
FOCUSING
CONFRONTATION
THE FIVE-STAGE INTERVIEW STRUCTURE Completing an
interview using only the basic listening
sequence and evaluating that interview for
empathic understanding
Basic Listening Sequence
REFLECTION OF FEELING
ENCOURAGING, PARAPHRASING, AND SUMMARIZATION
CLIENT OBSERVATION SKILLS
OPEN AND CLOSED QUESTIONS
ATTENDING BEHAVIOR Culturally individually
appropriate eye contact, vocal qualities, verbal
tracking skills, and body
11
What Is Microcounseling?
  • Single skills approach to interviewing helping
  • Basic training model
  • 1. Warm-up skill
  • 2. Skill instruction
  • Video model
  • Written or didactic training
  • Skill practice to mastery
  • 3. Generalization

12
Key Research Findings 350 Data-based Studies
  • Skill definable, teachable, and affect clients
  • Skills not practiced will be lost over time
  • Microtraining appears more effective than
  • Traditional training
  • Encounter groups
  • Other skill programs
  • Useful in multiple settings
  • Teaching clients/patients skills of living
  • Counseling, medicine, management, social work,
    legal trial training
  • Paraprofessional training, nutrition education,
    sport psychology, teaching

13
4 Levels of Mastery
  • Identification
  • Basic Mastery
  • Demonstrate use in interview daily life
  • Active Mastery
  • Achieve specific impact on client
  • What does the client DO as a result of your
    effort?
  • Teach Mastery
  • What can your trainees DO as a result of your
    teaching?

14
Narrative Theory
  • Story
  • Positive Asset
  • Restory
  • Action

15
Practice Skills
  • Conduct an interview
  • Seek to use only the attending skills
  • Culturally individually appropriate eye
    contact, vocal qualities, verbal tracking skills,
    and body
  • Use the Attending Behavior Feedback Sheet
  • What mastery level was demonstrated?
  • What mastery level was the observer?

Chapter Two
Attending Behavior
Basic To Communication
17
Attending Behavior
3 V B
  • Visual-eye contact
  • Vocal qualities
  • Verbal tracking
  • Body language
  • Individually and culturally sensitive

18
Cultural Differences in Attending
  • Eye contact
  • Direct vs. averted gaze
  • Vocal tone
  • Loud vs. soft
  • Verbal tracking
  • Direct vs. indirect and more subtle
  • Body language
  • Forward trunk lean vs. sitting side by side
  • Speech rate
  • Slow vs. fast
  • Varied tone vs. monotone
  • Space
  • Near vs. far

19
Becoming a Samurai
  • Shizuru points out that microskills are very
    Zen. Masters of the sword learn detailed skills
    one by one. In the process of learning,
    performance decreases. Practice leads to mastery
    and a natural style. They retire to the mountain
    to meditate and absorb the skills. Tennis, golf,
    ballet, piano, and others depend on the same
    process.
  • You may find the single skills of microtraining
    awkward. Relax, practice sills to mastery, and
    they will become natural to you. Only accept what
    feels right for you personally.

19
20
Basic Skills Practice Model
  • Divide into groups.
  • Select leader.
  • Assign roles-interviewer/ee, observers
  • Planning-select topic, plan roles
  • Practice session-short 3-5 minutes focus on
    skills, not on solving problems
  • Feedback and review
  • Change roles

21
Practice Skills
Your voice seems to be shaking with emotion.
  • Conduct an interview
  • Seek to use attending and open ended questions
  • Use the Attending Behavior Feedback Sheet
  • What mastery level was demonstrated?
  • What mastery level was the observer?

    both now and in the past to work with
    difficulties

    each client while religion may be part of
    spirituality or placed separately.
