Even though the skills covered in this course are meant to enhance the helping relationship, they are also relevant for other types of human relationships such as the supervisor/supervisee relationship, business relationships, relationships in work groups, peer and friendship relationships, and so on. The skills form a foundation for interviewing techniques and for providing therapeutic assistance for clients and or patients. This course also provides an opportunity for students to enhance their self-esteem and assertiveness as young men and women and as beginning professionals.
