Abstract

The client-centered technique of therapeutic counseling, which makes the client responsible for directing the interview and for the attitudes expressed, is significant for research. It is iseful because it gets at deep attitudes of the person interviewed without the injecting of bias on the part of the interviewer. It is especially valuable in attitude surveys and research in personality.
