Disccusion

Review Chapter 6 and the Levitt article, focusing on the different types of counseling microskills; how active listening can enhance the other microskills, such as paraphrasing; and how each microskill could be used within a counseling session.

Review the “Vignettes: Counseling Microskills Discussion” document in the Learning Resources and select one to use for this Discussion.

Think about how you could use an open-ended question, paraphrasing, and reflection of what the client is feeling for the vignette you selected

·         A brief summary of the case study you chose (one paragraph maximum)

·         One example of each of the following skills as you might say them to the client in the case study:

·         one open-ended question

·         one paraphrase of one of the client’s statements

·         one reflection of what the client is feeling.

·          Finally, explain how much of your interaction with this client is an “art” or a “science” and why.
