Praxis 5422 Practice Question
Scenario/Extract:
A school counselor uses a solution-focused brief counseling approach. During a meeting for children of divorce, the counselor says to the students, "I imagine your parents' divorce has been difficult for you." The counselor then asks, "How have you been managing this so far?"
The question posed by the counselor best exemplifies which of the following?
Correct Answer: C
Rationale: The counselor's inquiry exemplifies a coping question, as it aims to explore the individual's strategies and resources for managing challenges. This type of question encourages reflection on past successes and resilience, fostering a sense of empowerment.
Option A, a miracle question, typically asks clients to envision a future without their problems, which is not the focus here. Option B, a scaling question, involves rating feelings or experiences on a numerical scale, which does not align with the context. Option D, an exception-finding question, seeks instances when the problem was less severe, but it does not emphasize coping strategies as effectively.
