with clients that is helpful in reducing defensiveness and encouraging therapeutic
collaboration between counselor and client. Counselors use the interpersonal

the clients perception of the problem and engages the client in a dialogue that
promotes the client non-defensively reexamining the situation and coming to
determine that a problem exists.
