What are material things in a culture?
4 C's,
1. What do you CALL your problem? (Remember to ask "What
do you think is wrong?" or "What is concerning/worrying you?"
to get at the client's perception of the problem. You should not
literally ask, "What do you call your problem?")
2. What do you think CAUSED your problem? (This gets at the
client's beliefs regarding the source of the problem.)
3. How do you COPE with your condition? (You may want to
phrase this as "What have you done to try to make it better?
Who else have you been to for treatment?")
4. What are your CONCERNS? (This should address questions
such as "How serious do you think this is?" "What potential
complications do you fear?" "How does it interfere with your
life, or your ability to function?" "Do you know anyone else
who has tried the treatment I've recommended? What was their
experience with it?") Correct Answers Assessing with the 4C's,
what are they?
