- Interpretation is often used in formal psychotherapy.
- Interpretive skills can sometimes hinder the process as the helper becomes preoccupied with the interpretation.
- Interpreting is similar to reflecting, but adds the helper's meanings to the helpee's message.
- The goal of all interpretive efforts is self-interpretation by the helpee and increasing their ability to act effectively.
Interpretive Questions
