The profession is witnessing a growing interest among practitioners and educators in finding ways to discover and mobilize client strengths in social work practice. This article describes, explains, and illustrates several interviewing questions that a worker can use to uncover client strengths related to the goals of clients. The questions, drawn from a solution-focused approach to interviewing, include the “miracle” question, exception-finding questions, scaling questions, coping questions, and “what's better?” questions. The fit between these questions and the key concepts of the emerging strengths perspective is examined.
