Resource-based reflective consultation: accessing client resources through interviews and dialogue.
This article presents an interventive, consultative method that is designed to elicit and to promote resource-based language between client families and their therapists. The reflexive interview process that this method entailed is described through case examples. Initially, resource-based language was generated from client interviews and shared in reflective dialogue with their therapists in a way that encouraged participants to consider different views and beliefs about themselves, each other, and their process together. Use of this consultative process in therapy added heightened awareness and respect for competencies possessed not only by the client families but by the therapists as well.
