  In this volume the author focuses on the development of basic listening and responding skills, and describes the process of communication which is at the heart of the helping interview. The primary message of this book is that there are skills of receiving as well as giving, and that if the helper is listening to what the person is really saying, the necessity of leading and advising may even be obviated. The numerous exercises make this a useful book for training in all fields of pastoral work, both with individuals and groups.

  An essential feature of successful 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. Leaders, whether clerical or lay, teachers or managers, doctors or social workers, frequently see their role as one of communication, but in the excitement of communicating, forget that theirs are not the only important voices. The primary purpose of this book is to emphasize the necessity of learning to listen as well as to speak, and to respond to what is said and what is omitted.
