- Attending behaviours help the client tell their story
- Facilitates further information gathering
- Demonstrate understanding and empathy
- Provide emotional support
Attending Skills Components
- Body Positioning: Squarely facing the client, open body posture and leaning slightly towards them
- Eye Contact: Maintaining appropriate eye contact.
- Head Movements: Subtle head nods and other movements to show engagement
- Silence: Using silence appropriately to allow the client to continue without interruption
- Mirroring: Matching the client's body language and tone
- Tone of Voice: A supportive, non-judgmental tone
- Furthering Responses: Encouraging questions and statements to encourage the client to continue sharing their story.
Attending Behaviors
- Four Dimensions: Visual (eye contact), physical focus (body language, vocals, verbal tracking), psychological focus, minimizing distractions
- 3 V's + B: Visual, Vocal (tone, speech rate), Verbal tracking (staying on topic), and Attentive Body Language
- Visual implies eye contact
- Vocal encompasses tone, speech rate, and volume
- Verbal tracking means SSWs should stay on topic
- Attentive body language includes body posture, facial expressions, and gestures
Role Plays, Feedback, & Client Tips
- Role-playing is a practice to demonstrate attending skills
- Step 1: Introductions
- Step 2: Determine roles (client, SSW, observers)
- Step 3: Role play for 5 minutes
- Step 4: Feedback from observers for 5 minutes; role swap.
- Appropriate client topics: personal feelings, career decisions, etc.
- Clients should be genuine
Observer Feedback
- Eye contact: Is it facilitative, or avoiding/sensitive?
- Vocal qualities: Tone, speed, and volume?
- Verbal Tracking: Stay on topic? Demonstrate selective attention?
- Attentive Body Language: Learning? Facial expressions?
Open and Closed Questions
- Closed Questions: Use words like can, did, are, have, is, will, would, do, was, when, which, who, where.
- Open Questions: Use words like what, how, why, could you tell me more, given what you said. What would be your ideal solution.
Active Listening: Core Components & Purpose
- Active listening is not about offering advice, judgment, or persuasion
- Clients should not feel inadequate, but know that the interviewer is listening.
- Discuss only the topics mentioned by the client.
- The interviewer should also consider using simple repetition of client's word to maintain the direction of the conversation.
Encouragers, Paraphrasing, and Summarizing
- Encouragers: A variety of verbal and nonverbal cues (e.g., head nods, repeating key words) to encourage continued conversation
- Paraphrasing: Briefly restate the essence of what a client has said using different words. This shows you understand.
- Summarizing: Condensing the main ideas from a longer conversation with correct facts to demonstrate understanding. It's like an "overall" paraphrase of many things said.
Additional Information
- Four Dimensions of Paraphrasing: Sentence stem/intro, brief intro, Key words, Essence
- There are specific examples of clients' situations to practice.
- Practice summarization by planning a role play with open questions.
