With respect to interviewing youth

B)counsellors need to define the contract

Accepted Answer

Youth may have intense emotional reactions to seemingly innocuous issues, so it's important for counselors to be aware of this and approach the interview with sensitivity and a non-judgmental attitude. Core conditions such as empathy, congruence, and unconditional positive regard are still important, and closed questions may limit the information gathered. The counselor should establish a clear contract and boundaries while maintaining a professional relationship rather than attempting to be friends with the youth.

B)behaviour
C)feelings

The location where clients live is not relevant to the cognitive domain.

Indirect questions
A)are statements that have the same effect as questions
B)are used to provide essential focus to the interview
C)establish counsellor control of the interview
D)should be avoided because they are confusing to clients
E)can be answered yes or no

Accepted Answer

Indirect questions are statements that imply a question without using a direct question word, such as "what" or "why." They are used to gather information in a less confrontational manner and have the same effect as questions. Option B is incorrect because they are not used to provide essential focus to the interview, and option C is incorrect because they do not establish counsellor control of the interview. Option D is also incorrect because indirect questions are a useful communication tool when used appropriately, and option E is partially correct in that they can sometimes be answered with a yes or no, but they can also require a more detailed response.
