Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Using too many questions can create a sense of leading or guiding the client, which can limit their spontaneity and autonomy. Paraphrasing allows the client to take the lead and express themselves in their own way. Therefore, Clarice's supervisor is suggesting that she use fewer questions and more paraphrasing to facilitate the client's self-expression.
