Clean Language

David Grove가 1980년대에 트라우마를 가진 고객들의 기억을 해결하는데 의학적인 방법으로서 사용했다.

He realised many clients naturally described their symptoms in metaphor, and found that when he enquired about these using their exact words, their perception of the trauma began to change.

Basic Questions

There are 9 basic Clean Language questions. Two questions request information about symbol's attributes and two ask for locational information. There are two questions which reference the past and two which reference the future (from the client's perceptual present). This leaves the odd-one-out which offers the client the opportunity to make a lateral and therefore metaphorical shift in perception . The 9 basic Clean Language questions are:

• And is there anything else about ......?
  • X에 대해 또 다른 게 있나요? 혹은 X에 대해 또 뭐가 있을까요?
• And what kind of ...... is that ......?
  • 말씀하신 X는 어떤 종류의 X인가요?
  • 어떤 (종류의) X요?
  • 그 X는(혹은 말씀하시는 X는) 어떤 (종류의) X인가요?
• And where is ......?
• And whereabouts?
• And what happens next?
• And then what happens?
• And what happens just before ......?
