3 approaches to counseling - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔1. Directive
2. Non-directive
3. Combined
Directive - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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 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
Non Directive - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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 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.
Collaborative - 🧠 ANSWER ✔✔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.
