Knapp focuses on teaching by example, by providing dialogue boxes clinicians can use to practice their therapeutic skills development on patients. Knapp also focuses on teaching counselors how to balance emotional dynamics that often come into play in a therapeutic setting. These include for example, transference of feeling, self-awareness and the "inevitable termination of the client/counselor relationship" (Knapp, 2007: 29).
Most helpful in this book is a live transcription of sessions with clients that help counselors learn how to engage in short-term therapeutic communication and transcripts that teach counselors how to terminate relationships. Students working at the graduate level and professionals working in social services or counseling can all benefit by the tools presented in this easy-to-use guidebook.
Counselors and teachers can also use this book as a self-help tool...
I found most helpful the practice skills offered in this guide, including skills that help counselors "cope with silence" (p. 57) and skills and practice sessions that help teach the counselor to respect boundaries that exist between the patient, provider and others. This is a very well-written and comprehensive guide for any graduate student or clinician looking for a simple way to incorporate therapeutic communication into their practice. By reading this book one will easily learn how to identify underlying problems, summarize interactions and clarify suggestions or teachings when offered to patients.

Often the client is unable to take steps to avoid the undesirable emotional attachment. The therapist must take the initiative in maintaining proper distance and personal space.

Professional Communication: Cultural Sensitivity Among Native Americans In nursing school, we are normally taught that we should respect the dignity and rights of all clients. As the "world becomes reduced" and societies and individuals become more mobile, we are progressively able to network with people that are from other cultures.
