Develop recovery skills that you can use when you are lost or confused in the interview. Examine the use of attending skills as a psychoeducational treatment. Listening is the most critical skill in i & c. Modify your attending pattern to achieve specific results. Tone, volume, rate, accent, pitch, breaks, hesitations. Listen to the verbal messaging, but also observe the nonverbal. Observe your own and client selective attention. Entering the world of the client, and experiencing it as they do. Subtractive empathy offers less than what client has stated and/or distorts their viewpoint. Basic (interchangeable) empathy response is interchangeable with the client"s point of view.
