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.
