Basic Interviewing Skills

This workbook helps students develop essential interviewing skills such as communicating involvement, listening actively, reflecting, using open- and close-ended questioning, exploring basic information, seeking clarification, setting goals and contracting, and expressing warmth, respect, genuineness, and empathy. It is designed to be used in a collaborative classroom setting with students working in groups of three, with one member representing the client, one member representing the practitioner, and the last representing the peer supervisor. It emphasizes immediate feedback and self-evaluation.
