Week 3: Assessment Questions During the assessment for Jamie, I would be using open ended questions, and also encouragement for the basic listening skills. Asking open ended questions will help me understand Jaime's problems and will give me some understanding on what exactly is happening from her standpoint. With the open questions I will be able to ask her about certain things that will help me to gather information needed in order to help her. The information I gather will help me come up with some coping skills, some exercises, treatment plan, and ultimately solutions to help Jamie and her family. Some questions that I would start with are what are some things that often trigger the abuse? Why do you think there are excuses being made for the abuser? How are you coping with the changes in your family? What do you think needs to happen for me to get you and your family the help that you need? Closed questions are answered in fewer words and are used to solicit specific pieces of information. Closed questions will give me short answers to information and confirmation. I will be paying close attention to all answers, body language, and how she may or may not act throughout the session. Some closed questions I would ask are, are you lashing out to the abuser? Are you willing to work on the issues with the abuser? is your family willing to work with you to try and resolve the issues? Do you feel that therapy will help your family? Next, encouragement is another technique that I would use. Encouragement is giving someone support, confidence, and hope. I think that encouragement would be good for Jaime because sometimes people may feel like things will not get better. It takes time, patience, and a few counseling sessions, if Jaime and her family are willing to continue therapy and work together to resolve the issue. Encouraging the client and making them aware of how they are

making progress in therapy and showing them that they have the support they need will make them feel good and they will then want to continue to progress. Let them know that when talking to someone about your issues can feel uncomfortable, but it will eventually pay off and be a good step in the right healing path.
