Chapter 7.What Is Communication?
Sections
Excerpt
This chapter and the next examine some specific considerations in the conduct of therapy, emphasizing generic techniques and technical considerations, aspects that are not necessarily part of a particular methodology. These general principles and tactics will be useful whatever the goals and strategies selected for a desired outcome and have more to do with common interactions between you and the patient than with the customs and practices of a specific psychotherapy. The focus in this chapter is on the way effective communication can support progress in treatment.
