Immediacy. Definition of immediacy Â· Immediacy is a characteristic of a counselor's verbal response describing something as it occurs within a counseling session.
The term 'detained' often refers to the immediacy when someone has their liberty deprived, often before an arrest or pre-arrest procedure has yet been followed. For example, a shoplifter being pursued and restrained, but not yet informed he/she is under arrest or read his rights would be classed as 'detained'.
