    Seminar
    The topics of lectures are followed by experiential exercises in the seminar where basic skills needed for the contact with clients are developed. Through the exercises, students will develop practical skills especially in conducting a dialogue, the ability to reflect on both their own and the client's non-verbal communication, and on empathic understanding. We will use the knowledge from the lectures about the appropriate use of questions. The feedback of the students' success is also provided using a camcorder.
