Continue Verbalizing
In the context of furthering responses, minimal prompts signal the social worker's
attentiveness and encourage the client to continue verbalizing.
They can be either nonverbal or verbal. Therefore, in the context of verbal following, skills in
following have been related to **client continuance
Incongruent Responses
In the context of verbal following, incongruent responses to clients have been more
associated with discontinuance
A Reframe
A form of adding content. Here, the social worker puts the client's response in a different
light beyond what the client had previously considered.

Open-Ended Questions
Invite expanded expression and leave a client free to express what seems most relevant and
important to him or her. Social workers may formulate open-ended responses either by
asking a question or by giving a polite command.

Embedded Questions
Do not take the form of a question but embody a request for information. Examples of
embedded questions include:
"I'm curious about ...," "I'm wondering if ...," and "I'm interested in knowing...."
Closed-Ended Questions
Used chiefly to elicit essential factual information.
Skillful social workers use closed-ended questions sparingly because clients usually reveal
extensive factual information spontaneously as they unfold their stories, aided by the social
worker's open-ended and furthering responses.
