What are the common questions in psychological counseling?
There are two common problems: open-ended problems and closed-ended problems. Open-ended questions refer to questions that cannot be answered simply by yes or no, right or wrong. It requires respondents to make specific answers according to their own situation, and often asks "what" and "how", such as "what happened at that time?" "What do you think of this matter? How do you feel now? Why did you make such a choice? " The openness of open-ended questions depends not only on counselors, but also on visitors. If the trust relationship is well established and the visitor's expressive ability is strong, then the answer will be more open and informative. Closed-ended questions refer to questions that can be answered by right or wrong, yes or no, and various options are given, only the respondent needs to make a choice. Compared with open questions, closed questions can get definite answers in a shorter time and save more time. Therefore, the following situations are more suitable for closed-ended questions: if the visitor is talkative and has no theme and direction, the interview time is coming to an end, but some information needs to be collected; Counselors have a basic understanding of visitors' information, but there are still some details to be confirmed, which can be guided or controlled by closed questions.
