Using the ''Counselor Verbal Response System'' and ''Client Verbal Response System'' developed by Hill, et al (1981), we studied four clients. Two clients completed the full 12 sessions while 2 dropped out after the third session. Several findings were: (1) The two dropped-out cases (case 3 and 4) showed significantly more ''request'' and ''discussion of client-counselor relationship'' responses while the counselor showed significantly more ''minimal encourage'', ''approval-reassurance'', ''information'' and ''interpretation'' responses than the 2 clients who completed treatment. (2) The two clients who completed treatment showed increased ''experiencing'' and decreased ''simple responses'' as treatment progressed. (3) In the first four sessions, the counselor used more ''closed questions'', ''open questions'' and ''direct guidance''. In the middle sessions, the counselor utilized more ''information'', ''open questions'' and ''interpretation'' responses. In the last four sessions, the counselor invoked more ''information'', ''minimal encourage'', ''approval-reassurance'' and ''reflection'' responses. (4) A sequential analysis of the completed cases reveals that most frequently the counselor's ''closed questions'' elicited a ''simple response'' from the clients. Whereas, counselor's ''open questions'', ''closed questions'' and ''restatement'' commonly elicited ''description'' or ''experiencing'' responses from the clients. (5) When therapy completed, clients improved their symptoms. |
