Zirkuläres Fragen

Why do you actually answer every question with a counter-question, Doctor? Why shouldn't I respond with a counter-question? One of the most important elements of systemic therapy is the interview technique. The so-called circular questioning aims to clarify the mutual conditioning of the behavior of people whose life stories are interconnected. This book illustrates and explains the key therapeutic questioning techniques using concrete cases and interviews as examples. It begins with clarifying the context of therapy, moves on to defining its goals, and addresses the mechanisms of problem emergence and potential solutions. The conclusion consists of so-called closing interventions, which may include comments or the assignment of tasks such as rituals.
