ID #211-The Art and Science of the Therapeutic Relationship (Room 519B)

The success of counseling is dependent on the nature of the therapeutic relationship. This session looks at the ongoing research of the impact of different emotions experienced by and presented in a therapeutic session between the client and therapist. The session aims to help participants learn how to look for specific nonverbal cues and behaviors that indicate whether the relationship is developing in a positive or negative manner as well as how these dynamics can impact outcomes.
