Characteristic for a counseling-interview is the joint development of solutions by client and counselor. About this topic there is no difference in counseling psychology. This topic is the reason for a discrimination look. So we analyze 20 genetic-interviews looking for dominating activities, which induce the interaction of client and counselor to the development of solution. This way we ask for a differentiation in field, which is known until now in the psychological literature as exclusive. The transcription of the topics show the possibility of getting structures, assigned to certain fields of activity. At the same time the transparency, obtained this way, gives an insight into the centers of gravity, which are able to influence the clients behavior of decision. Having this knowledge, the practicing counselor can be stimulated to reflect his behavior thereto.
