Description
Therapeutic Communication: Knowing What to Say When is a widely adopted guide for therapists that offers practical advice on how to enhance the healing process through effective communication. Paul Wachtel explains why certain communications in therapy are particularly effective, while others may be countertherapeutic, and provides clear guidelines for asking questions and making comments that facilitate collaborative exploration and promote change. This book reflects nearly 20 years of advances in the field and offers a user-friendly approach that can be applied by therapists from different backgrounds, including psychodynamic, cognitive-behavioral, systemic, and experiential approaches.
