Document Summary

Chapter 1: toward intentional interviewing, counseling, and psychotherapy. These three terms are used interchangeably however are different. Interviewing- basic process used for gathering data, providing info to clients, and suggesting workable alternatives for resolving concerns. Counseling- more intensive and personal process: can be found in employment offices, schools, and hospitals, more about listening to and understanding a client"s life challenges as well as developing strategies for growth. Psychotherapy- deep-seated difficulties which require more time for resolution. The science and art of counseling and psychotherapy. Counseling is both an art and a science. Science has demonstrated that the specifics of listening skills are identifiable and are central to competent helping. Each client is unique and scientific research cannot tell us precisely what will be most helpful thus counseling and psychotherapy indeed have scientific base, but applying that science is an art form. The flexible counselor and client: intentionality and cultural intentionality.
