Circular questioning is an important technique used in social work. Circular questioning requires a circular approach to thinking. Instead of asking the client a direct question about an issue, the focus is indirect and may introduce an external perspective.
Asking a client for an external perspective can prompt a change in how he or she thinks about a particular topic. Circular questioning can be useful as an independent technique for motivating clients.
Social workers may also utilize circular question integrated with other theories and approaches related to client change. When used in a supportive way, circular questions can be a valuable tool for social workers to motivate clients who may be resistant to change.
a brief explanation of one family situation where you might use the circular questioning technique. Then, provide one example of a circular question you might ask a client and one follow-up question you might ask his or her family members to elicit feedback.
Finally, explain how these questions might add value to a family session. Be specific. Use attachments to help with assignments, include other resources and cite all work
Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development Essay
Prior to beginning work on this discussion, please read the required Baltes (1987) articles for this week.
For your initial post, choose one contemporary issue or problem related to developmental psychology that is prevalent in today’s news and research a minimum of one peer-reviewed article on this issue in the Ashford University Library.
Evaluate the issue based on one of the theoretical perspectives (Freud’s Psychosexual Theory, Erikson’s Psychosocial Theory, Piaget’s Theory of Cognitive Development, etc.) that we have studied across this course.
Explain how the theory provides a deeper understanding of the contemporary issue. Propose one well-developed solution to address the issue or problem.
Guided Response: Review several of your colleagues’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies earlier in the week to promote more meaningful and interactive discourse in this discussion.
Were there any contributions by your colleagues’ chosen theoretical perspective that were not included in his or her initial post? How might these contributions have provided more insight into the contemporary issue being considered?
Critically examine the proposed solution and reconcile any discrepancies between your colleague’s perspective(s) and your own. Suggest a different solution than your colleague explaining the benefits. Continue to monitor the discussion forum until 5:00 p.m. MST on Day 7 of the week and respond to anyone who replies to your initial post.
Carefully review the Discussion Forum Grading Rubric for the criteria that will be used to evaluate this Discussion Thread.
