  1. CHAPTER 4 Questions: Opening Communication

  2. Microskills Hierarchy Open and closed questions Attending behavior Ethics and multicultural competence

  3. Open Questions • Encourage others to talk • Provide maximum information • What, how, or could • Helpee in charge

  4. Closed Questions • Answered in few words (yes, no) • Focus interview • Is, are, do • Helper in charge

  5. Help begin interview Elaborate and enrich helpee’s story Bring out specifics Critical to assessment First word of open ? determines what comes next Potential Problems May promote distrust Used to search for positive assets Eight Issues Around Questions

  6. Questions help begin interview • What would you like to talk about today? • How have things been going? • Last week we talked about . . . How did that work out?

  7. Help elaborate story • How did you feel when that happened? • What might we have missed so far? • What else comes to mind?

  8. Bring out specifics • Could you give me a specific example? • What do you mean by . . .?

  9. Critical in assessment • Who • What • When • Where • How • Why

  10. Bombarding/grilling Multiple questions (several at one time) Questions as statements (Don’t you think . . ) Cultural differences – to some questions are offensive Why questions – defensive Control – person asking is in control Potential problems

  11. In cross-cultural situations may promote distrust • If cultural differences between helper and helpee, helpee may distrust so many questions, feel grilled, and feel “stupid” if an answer is not forthcoming

  12. Search for positive assets • Listen to helpee for strengths and positives • Share feedback

  13. Personal strength • What do yo do well or others say you do well? • What are some things you’ve been proud of in the past? Now?

  14. Cultural/Gender/Family Strength • Can you tell me about a friend of your own gender (race/ethnicity/religion) that dealt with adversity in a way that you admire? • What specifically did that person do?

  15. Anticipating Responses • What – bring out facts of situation • How – leads to feelings • Why – introspection; search for reasons (and if I knew the answer to why I wouldn’t be here) • Could – most open of all; can be refused
