The art and science of questions MCC therapists are very skilful in using questions to explore positive meanings in the client's present, past and future. Tables 9 to 11 include some suggested helpful questions. Each therapist has to develop his or her questions related to meaning and purpose. MCC is theoretically integrated, but technically eclectic. It willing to employ any technique that is helpful to the client facing a particular problem, but does not lose focus of the central role of meaning.
Personal meaning remains a unifying principle throughout the course of the therapy.
MCC also represents a unique approach to narrative therapy, because it employs both personal narratives and meta-stories to facilitate the client's quest for meaning. Deriving deeper meaning from universal stories of redemption, etc. They seem to be forever striving, but are never satisfied. They are forever seeking, but not knowing what they are looking for. They may have everything, but feel that they have nothing.
