Document Summary
Seeks to provide client a new way of understanding thoughts, feelings & behaviours, gives them a new way of thinking about issues, new frame of reference. Often comes from specific theoretical perspective (decisional, psychodynamic, multicultural) Reframes usually come from interviewer (come from your observations) Anticipated client responses: client may find another perspective or way of thinking about a story or issue, new perspective could have been generated by a theory used by the interviewer (i. e. by linking ideas or information) Help client find deeper understanding of significant basic issues (life vision, purpose) that are underlying their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. Explore new meanings from their own perspectives and from the perspectives of others. Finding deeper meaning leads to new interpretation of life. Often looks like a paraphrase but focuses beyond just what the client says. Common words used: meaning, values, vision, goals, sense, understanding, intent. Clients generate their own meanings, find new clearer visions for understanding themselves and others.
