Description

Description:

Clients or patients often unintentionally present hints indicating current in-control behaviors or a desire for change. Practitioners listen carefully responding to these “throw away comments” and emphasize their significance even though the patient was hardly aware that the statement contains a wealth of meaning and provides a foundation for change.

Educational Objectives:

  1. List 2 ways to respond to clients’ “throw away comments” and help them see their significance.
  2. Identify 3 ways to respond to the “space between the words” in assisting clients to identify, clarify + evaluate the appropriateness + attainability of their wants/goals.
