Communication Skills Necessary to Improve the Therapist-Client Relationship

People talk at speeds of 125-175 words per minute, but you can listen to 450 (Carver, Johnson, and Friedman, 1971). As people speak faster than they can control, thinking away from thinking about other things, rather than listening to hand information, communication can be lost. This effective hearing impairment overlooks or misleads what others said, (Janusik & Wolvin, 2009). As a psychologist, you have to actively listen, ask questions, ask for explanation, and investigate the understanding of effective communication others have said.

In Rogers (1957), in order for an effective personality change to occur, in order to have a true therapeutic relationship between the client and therapist, the therapist and the client need to be in psychological contact, the therapist I have unconditional positive attention and sympathy to the experience and have a certain degree of accomplishment and attempt to convey this understanding to the client. Of these criteria, the three most fundamental "core" conditions that therapists must achieve are consistency, unconditional positive attention and sympathy (Rogers, 1978).

Rogers, the most wonderful person ever (1957; 1959) acknowledges that six necessary and sufficient conditions are needed for treatment change. Therapist - customer psychological contact - relationship between client and therapist The relationship that everyone is aware of another person is important. Customer discrepancy - There is a contradiction between customer experience and consciousness. In addition, customers tend to be concerned and encourage maintaining this relationship. The therapist agrees (credibility) - The therapist is consistent in treatment. The therapist is actually related to the client, they are not merely depicting care. In addition, the therapist can support this relationship based on his experience and self-disclosure. The therapist 's unconditional positive attention - The therapist unconditionally recognizes the feelings of the client. This will enhance customer's self-esteem

An important part of the treatment relationship is the customer's perception of the therapist. Customer assessment is the most consistently predictive of customer improvement (Lambert & Barley, 2001). If the therapist fails to gain customer confidence in the ability to help change when a relationship is established, the client may resist treatment. A summary of the literature by Lambert and Barley (2001) found that a strong relationship was recorded as an effective predictor of all treatments and positive outcomes for various types of clients. They also said that a strong therapist-client relationship would normally be established quickly. In the literature it has also been decided that self-recognition has proved to be a positive factor in the development of a strong alliance. Self-cognitive therapists must practice positive listening skills with clients and monitor responses to themselves (Lambert & Barley, 2001).
