Synopsis:

Expertise in listening, perceiving, communicating, and responding to others are essential skills in developing interpersonal relationships, and a potent means of preventing misunderstanding. This book serves as an important skills manual for improving human relations; it is an indispensable guide for anyone interested in improving communication skills and the larger family of "generic life skills" required to function as a confident member of society. This book emphasizes that interpersonal communication and human relations are one of four generic life skills. Core conditions of empathy, respect, warmth, concreteness, genuineness, appropriate self-disclosure, confrontation, and immediacy are addressed and applied chapter by chapter. Scales for each of the above are included so that trainers can learn how to rate their level of functioning on each condition and globally. Issues of the changing roles of educators and applications of multicutural-related issues in schools and the classroom are also discussed. Counselors, school psychologists, social workers, teachers, administrators, special education personnel, student personnel, and parents.

From the Back Cover: The need has never been greater for this new edition of Human Relations Development given the critical and ever-increasing importance of collaboration and co-teaching, effective home-school partnerships, and nurturing teacher-student relationships. This much-lauded text is a skills training manual for improving interpersonal communication, focusing on human relations between teachers and their students, parents, peers, and the general public.

I think this is a terrific text that is well suited to helping educators learn how to deal with a variety of difficult people and situations.

Students begin to appreciate the complexity of language and the examinations require them to apply the concepts they’ve learned!

The emphasis of the text is that interpersonal communication and human relations is one of four generic life-skills. Core conditions of empathy, respect, warmth, concreteness, genuineness, appropriate self-disclosure, confrontation, and immediacy are addressed and applied chapter by chapter. Scales for each of these conditions are included so that trainees can learn how to rate their level of functioning both globally and specifically. Issues of the changing roles of educators and theory/applications of multicultural issues in schools and the classroom are also discussed.
