, 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.
For Marines who are inexperienced, less mature, or unsure of themselves, it may be
Directive 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 achieve the results desired.
The advantage is that it requires the Marine to think harder, seeing personal
Non Directive
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-
directive approach to relax an otherwise tense session. In this approach, the
Collaborative 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.
