| Summary: | “Socratic Method” is a way of teaching philosophical thinking and knowledge by asking questions which was used by
antique period greek philosopher Socrates. Socrates was teaching knowledge to his followers by asking questions and
the conversation between them was named “Socratic Dialogues”. In this meaning, no novel knowledge is taught to the
individual but only what is formerly known is reminded and rediscovered. The form of socratic questioning which is used
during the process of cognitive behavioral therapy is known as Guided Discovery. In this method it is aimed to make the
client notice the piece of knowledge which he could notice but is not aware with a series of questions. Socratic method
or guided discovery consists of several steps which are: Identifying the problem by listening to the client and making
reflections, finding alternatives by examining and evaluating, reidentification by using the newly found information and
questioning the old distorted belief and reaching to a conclusion and applying it. Question types used during these
procedures are, questions for gaining information, questions revealing the meanings, questions revealing the beliefs,
questions about behaviours during the similar past experiences, analyse questions and analytic synthesis questions.
In order to make the patient feel understood it is important to be empathetic and summarising the problem during the
interview. In this text, steps of Socratic Questioning-Guided Discovery will be reviewed with sample dialogues after each
step |
