It is designed to be student and practitioner oriented by drawing on real world examples of therapeutic encounters in mental health settings to illustrate how theory can inform practice. Good communication is the cornerstone of good clinical practice and is foundational for building therapeutic alliance. Although therapists and counsellors are often highly skilled in their therapeutic modalities, this book offers additional practical suggestions about how families engage in social actions and positioning themselves and others in their talk. The book also takes wider micro and macro ecological systems within which systemic psychotherapists and counsellors work into account and consider the ways that these larger social influences are experienced within institutional discourses. This unique book will be a valuable resource across a broad spectrum of professions and researchers, including counsellors, psychotherapists, family therapists, psychiatrists, nurses, play therapists, speech and language therapists, and mental health social workers. 410 0$aPalgrave texts in counselling and psychotherapy. 606 $aFamilies$xMental health 606 $aFamilies$xMental health$xResearch 606 $aFamília$2thub 606 $aComunicació en la família$2thub 606 $aSalut mental$2thub 606 $aPsicoterapeutes$2thub 608 $aLlibres electrònics$2thub 615 0$aFamilies$xMental health. 615 0$aFamilies$xMental health$xResearch. 615 7$aFamília 615 7$aComunicació en la família 615 7$aSalut mental 615 7$aPsicoterapeutes 676 $a616.89156 700 $aO'Reilly$b Michelle$0767338 702 $aKiyimba$b Nikki 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910746286203321 996 $aCommunicating With Families$93568969 997 $aUNINA
