First published in 1990, The Practice of Questioning integrates theory, research, and practice from a wide range of disciplines, with a strong emphasis on practical application. It examines the use of questions in diverse contexts, including classrooms, courtrooms, psychotherapy, medical clinics, personnel interviews, interrogations, journalism, and survey and opinion polls.

Detailed schemes of practice are extensively illustrated with real transcripts of question-and-answer exchanges across various settings. The book also provides techniques for situations where questioning appears ineffective, offering actionable strategies to improve outcomes. Every aspect of questioning is demonstrated in real-world scenarios, grounded in a solid understanding of theory and research.

The Practice of Questioning is the most comprehensive, informed, and practical guide for professionals whose work relies on the art of questioning.
