    The Empathic Attitude

    Marvin Frankel
    Year

    This course provides a theoretical and practical understanding of client-centered counseling. Rogerian techniques are applied and integrated into clinical genetic counseling cases. Special emphasis is placed on understanding the emotional content of language in all phases of the genetic counseling process, eliciting a client’s psychological needs, and the choice of vocabulary in explaining complex genetic phenomena.
