Fragen können wie Küsse schmecken

There are no stupid questions, they say. However, there are clumsy questions, and they obstruct the path to the answer instead of smoothing it out. This applies to therapists and journalists just as much as it does in everyday life. Those who ask the right questions create movement. Well-posed questions spark the curiosity of the respondents, capture their attention, and can unlock resources. With the right questions, the interviewer can not only uncover information: they can also provide the respondents with new insights, thereby changing their perspective and initiating processes. Carmen Kindl-Beilfuss summarizes in this workshop book what one needs to know as a professional interviewer about this central technique: How are good questions structured? How can the right terms be found? The book covers all phases of questioning—from establishing a relationship at the beginning to successfully concluding a conversation. The focus is on how resource-oriented questioning can dissolve blockages, reframe problems, and shape the future. Those who implement what they read will find answers more easily and reach their goals faster, whether in biographical interviews with individual conversation partners or in couple and family therapy. With over 1000 example questions!.
