"A probe is a question that is directed toward yielding
information in order to gain empathetic understanding.
Probes are open-ended questions requiring more than a
,yes or no reply. The purpose of the confronting response
is to assist the client to achieve congruency in what he or
she says and does, to help him or her be fully aware and
honest in gaining self-understanding. Confrontation
involves "telling it like it is," without being accusatory or
judgmental. Informing transpires when objective and
factual information is shared with the client. Self-
disclosing allows personal disclosure on the part of the
helper with the intent of providing the client with an
opportunity to perceive the helper as another human
being who has encountered situations, thoughts or
feelings similar to those faced by the client."
