This study aims to explore the verbal interaction between counselors and clients.
The researchers analyzed the possible changes in the response modes when the coun-selors were facing the clients and approaching their problems. Clients' different re-sponse modes were also studied. A classification and coding system along with its practice were constructed for a localized counseling process. The research is a qualitative study based on the discovery一oriented psychotherapy research by Mahrer. The data analyzed were gathered from six counselors together with six clients. The results are as follows:
1. Counselors may have the verbal response modes of : greeting, expecting, setting the limits and wishing, support, listening, encouragement, immediateness, question, focusing, clarification, summarizing, empathy, reinforcement, catharsis,self-disclosure, guidance, confrontation, explanation, reframing, suggestion, in-struction, homework and providing information.
2. Different counseling stages result in different oral responses of the counselors.
3. In the counseling process, counselors' verbal responses are influenced by factors such as gender, years of service and client response.
4. In the process, clients' verbal response modes are influenced by the verbal response of counselors.
