Implementing a Curiosity Oriented Approach

The article "Implementing a Curiosity Oriented Approach" by Richard Hill explores the role of curiosity in therapeutic practice, emphasizing how it can be a powerful tool to facilitate healing and personal growth. Hill proposes that curiosity is not merely about seeking information but is a multifaceted state that includes the pursuit of play and meaning. He introduces the "Three Facets of Curiosity"—Curiosity for Information (CFI), Curiosity for Play (CFP), and Curiosity for Meaning and Possibility (CFMP)—each serving a different function in therapy. CFI addresses knowledge gaps, CFP focuses on playful engagement, and CFMP explores deeper meanings and future possibilities. Hill argues that fostering a curiosity-oriented state can lead to transformational changes in clients by shifting their mental and emotional states, thereby opening pathways to healing and growth.
