3 approaches to counseling - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Directive
2. Non-directive
3. Combined
Directive - CORRECT ANSWER In the directive approach, the senior
takes the lead in analyzing the Marine's performance, identifying the
problems, and laying out a plan for improvement. The Marine Corps
environment lends itself to the use of this approach, and in some
cases, it is very productive as it takes less time.
For Marines who are inexperienced, less mature, or unsure of
themselves, it may be the only effective approach, depending on the
,diagnosis. If the problem is not identified correctly, the counselor
could do more harm than good. For this reason, the directive approach
should be used sparingly.
Potential drawbacks to the directive approach:
Does not require Marines to take responsibility for their actions
Counselor may be focusing on a symptom rather than the cause
Non Directive - CORRECT ANSWER In the non-directive approach, the
senior asks questions, listens, and uses a variety of techniques to
draw the Marine into a discussion to reach personal decisions. This
approach takes more time than the directive approach, and the
counselor must demonstrate a high degree of counseling skill to
achieve the results desired.
The advantage is that it requires the Marine to think harder, seeing
personal performance clearly and objectively.
In this approach, the Marine takes responsibility for problems, plans
for improvement, and makes decisions.
When the non-directive approach is used skillfully, the advantages
outweigh the cost in time and effort.
Collaborative - CORRECT ANSWER In practice, most counseling
sessions involve a combination of the directive and non-directive
approaches. Used together, they are more effective than when used
alone.
The directive approach can be used to curb rambling discussions and
the non-directive approach to relax an otherwise tense session. In this
approach, the counselor must be tuned in and alert to the
conversation to change approaches as the situation changes.
The counselor must understand the advantages and disadvantages of
each approach and must be able to move easily from one to the other
to keep the session moving in a productive manner.
