Jean Pain - Not Just Talking: Conversational Analysis and Psychotherapy
Published: 2009-02 | ISBN: 1855756897 | PDF | 150 pages | 1 MB
Good relationships depend above all on our skills in conversation. Harvey Sacks’ method, Conversation Analysis, was the springboard for Jean Pain’s research into psychotherapy as a social activity that depends for its success on the quality of the therapeutic dialogue. She wrote this book not only for therapists but for all those who do not understand what psychotherapy is for and are curious to know how it works. Jean Pain offers us new tools for all kinds of conversation to help us to work for us rather than against us.
