Description An essential feature of counselling is the ability to listen and respond well to the information being given in an interview. In this book, the author shows how this ability may take away the need for leading and advising, creating a counselling encounter that is constructive and helpful.
Publisher Description
Basic listening skills are at the heart of communication, or any pastoral encounter. In this new and thoroughly updated edition of 'Swift to Hear', Michael Jacobs addresses these listening and responding skills, describing the process of communication, which is at the heart of the helping interview. The primary message of this book is the ability to listen, and to hear what a person is really saying, is of paramount importance in any counselling situation, and that if practitioners can enhance these skills they will be far more effective. Numerous exercises make this an excellent book for training in all fields of pastoral work, both with individuals and with groups.
