Question

/n • • • • This volunteer should create a fictional person as whom they will be responding. If you choose to use the child intake form, the volunteer does not have to be a child. If the volunteer is a child, please make sure that they are aware that they are to provide fictional responses. No true personal health information is to be used for this assignment. While conducting the interview, use the form as a guide, but allow flexibility in the order in which you gather the information and the ways in which you ask the questions. The best interviews are conversational in nature, rather than a strict back and forth set of questions and responses. Remember to use open- ended questions, reflective listening, and statements such as those in the text or seen in the videos designed to elicit more information and keep the conversation going. Be as detailed and thorough as possible in the info you gather, especially for background information and family history. You will need this information for your final assessment. After completing the interview and the form, write a short summary of your experience. Discuss what it was like to try using only open-ended questions (easy? hard?), how comfortable you felt overall, and how comfortable you think the interviewee felt. What challenges do you see arising with an actual client that were not present with the volunteer? What would be easier about interviewing a real client? Additionally, keep track of your interviewee's behavior during the interview so that you may include relevant behavioral observations (e.g. distractibility, tone/volume of voice, hesitance to respond, emotions, and even physical presentation, etc) in the report you will write for your final assignment. You will use both the behavioral observations and information you gather during the interview in your final report. Again, be as detailed and thorough as possible.
