, In the directive approach, the senior takes the lead in analyzing
the Marine's performance, identifying the problems, and laying
out a plan for improvement. The Marine Corps environment
lends itself to the use of this approach, and in some cases, it is
very productive as it takes less time.
Directive For Marines who are inexperienced, less mature, or unsure of
themselves, it may be the only effective approach, depending on
the diagnosis. If the problem is not
identified correctly, the counselor could do more harm than good.
For this reason, the directive approach should be used
sparingly.
Potential drawbacks to the directive approach:
Does not require Marines to take responsibility for
their actions Counselor may be focusing on a symptom
rather than the cause
In the non-directive approach, the senior asks questions, listens, and
uses a variety of techniques to draw the Marine into a discussion
to reach personal decisions. This
approach takes more time than the directive approach, and the
counselor must demonstrate a high degree of counseling skill to
Non Directive
achieve the results desired.
The advantage is that it requires the Marine to think harder,
seeing personal performance clearly and objectively.
In this approach, the Marine takes responsibility for problems,
plans for improvement, and makes decisions.
When the non-directive approach is used skillfully, the advantages
outweigh the cost in time and effort.
In practice, most counseling sessions involve a combination of the
directive and non- directive approaches. Used together, they are
more effective than when used alone. The directive approach can
be used to curb rambling discussions and the non-
Collaborative directive approach to relax an otherwise tense session. In this approach, the
counselor must be tuned in and alert to the conversation to
change approaches as the situation changes.
The counselor must understand the advantages and disadvantages of each
approach and must be able to move easily from one to the other to
keep the session moving in a productive manner.
