The miracle question is a technique most used in which model of counseling?

  1. Psychoanalytic

  2. Solution-focused

  3. Existential

  4. Family systems

The correct answer is: Solution-focused

The miracle question technique is heavily used in solution-focused counseling. This model is centered around a client's ability to recognize their strengths and resources to create positive change in their lives. Therefore, the other options listed are incorrect. Psychoanalytic counseling focuses on a client's unconscious processes and early childhood experiences. Existential counseling is focused on finding meaning and purpose in life. Family systems counseling is focused on understanding the dynamics and patterns within a family unit. While all of these models may incorporate elements of the miracle question technique, it is most commonly associated with solution-focused counseling.
