Considering Consequences Again, this is shorthand for a more complex process. Yes, values clarification questions and strategies involve clients in thinking through the possible results or outcomes of different decisions or courses of action. They also involve clients in examining the pros and cons of different alternatives. Implementing Values Clarification ■ 21 As I will repeat in other chapters, considering the possible outcomes of alternative choices does not mean only looking at the consequences for oneself, that is, examining the pros and cons in terms of one’s own self-interest.
But preferably, go last after all the group members have had the opportunity to think and speak for themselves, or go near the end so it doesn’t seem that you always get the last word. ■ INDIVIDUAL AND GROUP FORMATS Many different individual and group formats can be used for values clarification. In individual counseling, the variety of formats takes the form of different ways of responding. Probably most of the time, the client will respond verbally. But many values clarification questions or activities can invite a written response as well.
Or other questions that invite self-disclosure or sharing one’s own values. The general subject of counselor self-disclosure is beyond the scope of this book, but a brief discussion is in order of whether, when, and how it may be appropriate for the counselor using values clarification to share her own values with the client or to answer some of the same values questions she asks her clients. On this subject, I distinguish between individual counseling, group therapy, and psychoeducational groups.
