Improving Therapeutic Communication was first published in 1977 and has become a classic guide for mental health professionals, students, interns, and trainees who want to refine their basic people skills and improve their therapeutic bedside manner. The book includes fundamental principles, practical guidelines and exercises that aim to instill and enhance the fundamental skills needed to respond to clients in a helpful manner. This first paperback edition of the best-selling guide also includes a new foreword by author D. Corydon Hammond.
Throughout the book, the authors focus on the basic skills that facilitate communications in therapy (empathy, respect, authenticity, relating in the here-and-now, and confrontation) and explore specific methods of using them.

Throughout the book, the authors focus on the basic skills that facilitate communications in therapy (empathy, respect, authenticity, relating in the here-and-now, and confrontation) and explore specific methods of using them.

- Empathize in a caring way with the feelings of clients
- Become receptive to clients in a warm, respectful, and nonjudgmental way
- Constructively share feelings with clients in a natural, open manner
- Therapeutically utilize moment-to-moment, here-and-now interaction
- Make clients aware of their inconsistencies and discrepancies without arousing antagonism or defensiveness
