As a small group activity, explore how you would go about getting to know your client during your initial contact. How would you structure future sessions? Explore the following questions:

• Are tests important as a prerequisite to counseling? Would you decide whether to test, or would you allow your client to make this decision?

• Would you develop a contract with your client specifying what the client could expect from you and what the client wanted from counseling? Why or why not?

• Would you be inclined to use directive, action-oriented techniques, such as homework assignments? Why or why not?
