Facilitating Change: Encouragement, Insight and Skills Building

Supporting and facilitating change is a cornerstone of the helping professions. However, facilitating change in others is no easy task. There are factors related to the human condition working against the process of effective change. This lecture explores why this might be, and presents some thoughts on overcoming these challenges, looking at how encouragement, insight and skills building can support psychological movement and growth in the client.
