  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Communication in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy

Abstract

In this chapter I will describe first the cognitive-behavioral approach and refer specifically to A. T. Beck and A. Ellis. Next, I will describe the particular characteristics of the patient’s and psychotherapist’s communicative styles in the various phases of clinical treatment, quoting the most significant parts of some psychotherapy sessions (for a definition and description of some of the communication skills described here, see also Chapters 2–5).
