Humans have always sought to communicate their difficulties to others. Any helping process is rooted in the realm of language, and Socrates himself, in his own words, was a "midwife of souls," aiming to reveal individuals to themselves.
But helping others cannot be improvised! For such a complex and delicate mission, goodwill cannot replace solid skills.
In this work, the author thoroughly examines the various theoretical and practical aspects of the helping relationship.
Transactional analysis, neuro-linguistic programming, cognitive behavioral therapy, and other therapeutic tools are all conceptual and practical benchmarks useful in dealing with situations of depression, anxiety, guilt, sexual abuse, addiction, workplace harassment, domestic violence, eating disorders, etc.
This book is intended for all those who, in their personal or professional lives, are called upon to accompany such situations of distress. They will find a wealth of information and advice necessary to provide structured and constructive help, and effective psychological and spiritual support.
