Synopsis: Whatever you do at work, if you interact with people - either as colleagues or clients - you will need the skills to have sensitive conversations. We cannot all be trained psychotherapists, but we can learn how to effectively listen, empathise and advise others in need. In The Art of Counselling, leading psychologist and psychotherapist Rollo May gives you to tools to interact compassionately and productively, helping you to:- Appear approachable and build empathy from the outset- Tailor your approach according to personality types- Listen with purpose in order to give meaningful adviceA pioneer in the field of existential psychology, Rollo May recognised that many people who are not counsellors by profession are often required to act as such at work. The Art of Counselling has since become a classic of the genre and is more relevant than ever to the modern workplace.
