  1. Stage 1 of the ABC Model talks about the need for the counselor to have
    certain skills to develop good rapport with the client. The Seminar will be
    discussing the following skills: attending behavior, questioning,
    paraphrasing, reflections, and summarizations. What is the definition of
    each of these skills? Explain how each skill helps the counselor and the
    client. What happens when a counselor does not use these skills in the
    initial part of the session?
  2. Stage 2 of the ABC Model is about identifying the problem. Why is it
    important to ask about precipitating events that led to the client making
    the call to come in for an appointment? How does the counselor begin to
    understand the distress and functioning level of the client during this
    interview? What ethical considerations need to be taken into consideration
    during the second stage of the interview, and why? How does the counselor
    help the client improve his, or her, coping abilities during this
    stage?
  3. Stage 3 of the ABC Model is coping. What is the role of the crisis worker in
    this stage? What tools are useful to the counselor in empowering the client
    and helping him or her see his/her problems in a new light?
