THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: ACCEPTING
Definition
Indicating reception
Examples
Yes
I follow what you said
Nodding
Rationale
An accepting response indicates the nurse has heard and followed
the train of thought.
It does not indicate agreement but is nonjudgmental.
Facial expression, tone of voice, and so forth also must convey
acceptance or the words will lose their meaning
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: BROAD
OPENINGS
Definition
Allowing the client to take the initiative in introducing the topic
Examples
Is there something youd like to talk about?
Where would you like me to begin?
Rationale
Broad openings make explicit that the client has the lead in the
interaction.
For the client who is hesitant about talking, broad openings
may stimulate him or her to take the initiative
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: CONSENSUAL
VALIDATION
Definition
Searching for mutual understanding, for accord in the meaning of
the words.
Examples
Tell me whether my understanding of it agrees with yours.
Are you using this word to convey that . .
Rationale
For verbal communication to be meaningful, it is essential that the
words being used should have the same meaning for all
participants.
Sometimes words, phrases, or slang terms have different
meanings and can be easily misunderstood.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: ENCOURAGING
COMPARISON
Definition
Helping the client to understand by looking at similarities and
differences.
Examples
Was it something like. . . ?
Have you had similar experiences?
Rationale
Comparing ideas, experiences, or relationships brings out many
recurring themes.
The client benefits from making these comparisons because he or
she might recall past coping strategies that were effective or
remember the he or she has survived a similar situation
TECHNIQUES:
ENCOURAGING DESCRIPTION OF
PERCEPTIONS
Definition
Asking client to verbalize what he or she perceives.
Examples
Tell me when you feel anxious
What is happening?
What does the voice seem to be saying?
Rationale
To understand the client, the nurse must see things from his or her
perspective.
Encouraging the client to describe ideas fully may relieve the
tension the client is feeling, and he or she might be less likely to
take action on ideas that are harmful or frightening.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: ENCOURAGING
EXPRESSION
Definition
Asking client to appraise the quality of his or her experience.
Examples
What are your feelings in regard to. . ?
Does this contribute to your distress?
Rationale
The nurse asks the client to consider people and events in
light of his or her own values.
Doing so encourages the client to make his or her own
appraisal rather than accepting the opinion of others.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: EXPLORING
Definition
Delving further into a subject or idea.
Examples
Tell me more about that.
Would you describe it more fully?
What kind of work?
Rationale
When clients deal with topics superficially, exploring can help them
examine the issue more fully.
Any problem or concern can be better understood if explored in depth.
If the client expresses an unwillingness to explore a subject, however,
the nurse must respect his or her wishes.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: FOCUSING
Definition
Concentrating on a single point.
Examples
This point seems looking at more closely.
Of all the concerns you have mentioned, which is most
troublesome?
Rationale
The nurse encourages the client to concentrate his or her energies
on a single point, which may prevent a multitude of factors or
problems from overwhelming the client.
It is also a useful technique when a client jumps from one topic to
another.
TECHNIQUES:
FORMULATING A PLAN OF
ACTION
Definition
Asking the client to consider kinds of behavior likely to be
appropriate in future situations.
Examples
What could you do to let your anger out harmlessly?
Next time this comes up, what might you do to handle it?
Rationale
It may be helpful for the client to plan in advance what he or
she might do in future similar situations.
Making definite plans increases the likelihood that the client
will cope more effectively in a similar situation
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: GENERAL LEADS
Definition
Giving encouragement to continue.
Examples
Go on.
And then?
Tell me about it.
Rationale
General leads indicate that the nurse is listening and following what
the client is saying without taking away the initiative for the
interaction.
They also encourage the client to continue if he or she is hesitant
or uncomfortable about the topic.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: GIVING
INFORMATION
Definition
Making available the facts that the client needs.
Examples
My name is. . .
Visiting hours are. . .
My purpose in being here is. . .
Rationale
Informing the client of facts increases his or her knowledge
about a topic or lets the client know what to expect.
The nurse is functioning as a resource person
Giving information also builds trust with the client.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: GIVING
RECOGNITION
Definition
Acknowledging, indicating awareness.
Examples
Good Morning Ms. A. . .
Youve finished your list of things to do.
I notice that youve combed your hair.
Rationale
Greeting the client by name, indicating awareness of change, or
noting efforts the client has made all show that the nurse
recognizes the client as a person, as an individual.
Such recognition does not carry the notion of value, that is, of being
good or bad.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES:
MAKING OBSERVATIONS
Definition
Verbalizing what the nurse perceives.
Examples
You appear tense.
Are you uncomfortable when . . ?
I notice that you are biting your lip.
Rationale
Sometimes clients cannot verbalize or make themselves
understood.
Or the client may not be ready to talk.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: OFFERING SELF
Definition
Making oneself available.
Examples
I will sit with you awhile.
I will stay here with you.
I am interested in what you think.
Rationale
The nurse can offer his or her presence, interest, and desire to
understand.
It is important that this offer is unconditional, that is, the client
does not have to respond verbally to get the nurses attention.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: PLACING EVENT IN TIIME
SEQUENCE
Definition
Clarifying the relationship of events in time.
Examples
What seemed to lead up to. . ?
Was this before or after?
When did this happen?
Rationale
Putting events in proper sequence helps both the nurse and client to see
them in perspective.
The client may gain insight into cause-and-effect behavior and
consequences, or perhaps some things are not related.
The nurse may gain information about recurrent patterns or themes in
the clients behavior relationship.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: PRESENTING
REALITY
Definition
Offering for consideration that which is real.
Examples
I see no one else in the room.
That sound was a car backfiring.
Your mother is not here. I am a nurse.
Rationale
When it is obvious that a client is misinterpreting reality, the nurse
can indicate what is real.
The nurse does this by calmly and quietly expressing the nurses
perceptions of the facts not by way of arguing with the client or
belittling his or her experience.
The intent is to indicate an alternative line of thought for the client
to consider, not to convince the client that he or she is wrong.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: REFLECTING
Definition
Directing client actions, thoughts, and feelings back to the client.
Examples
Client: Do you think I should tell the doctor?
Nurse: Do you think you should?
Client: My brother spends all my money and then has the nerve to ask for
more.
Nurse: This causes you to feel angry?
Rationale
Reflection encourages the client to recognize and accept his or her own
feelings.
The nurse indicates that the clients point of view has value, and that the
client has the right to have opinions, make decisions, and think
independently
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: RESTATING
Definition
Repeating the main idea expressed.
Examples
Client: I cant sleep. I stay awake all night.
Nurse: You have difficulty sleeping.
Client: I am really mad. I am really upset.
Nurse: Youre really mad and upset.
Rationale
The nurse repeats what the client has said in approximately or nearly the
same words the client has used.
This restatement lets the client know that he or she communicated the
idea effectively.
This encourages the client to continue
Or if the client has been misunderstood, he or she can clarify his or her
thoughts.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES:
SEEKING INFORMATION
Definition
Seeking to make clear that which is not meaningful or that
which is vague.
Examples
I am not sure that I follow.
Have I heard you correctly?
Rationale
The nurse should seek clarification throughout interactions
with clients.
Doing so can help the nurse to avoid making assumptions
that understanding has occurred when it has not.
It helps the client to articulate thoughts, feelings, and ideas
more clearly.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: SILENCE
Definition
Absence of verbal communication, which provides time for the client
to put thoughts or feelings into words, regain composure, or continue
talking.
Examples
Nurse says nothing but continues to maintain eye contact and
conveys interest
Rationale
Silence often encourages the client to verbalize provided that it is
interested and expectant.
Silence gives the client time to organize thoughts, direct the topic of
interaction, or focus on issues that are most important.
Much nonverbal behavior takes place during silence, and the nurse
needs to be, aware of the client and his or her own nonverbal
behavior.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES:
SUGGESTING COLLABORATION
Definition
Offering to share, to strive, to work with the client for his or her
benefit.
Examples
Perhaps you and I can discuss and discover the triggers for
your anxiety.
Lets go to your room and I will help you find what you are
looking for.
Rationale
The nurse seeks to offer a relationship in which the client can
identify problems in living with others, grow emotionally, and
improve the ability to form satisfactory relationships.
The nurse offers to do things with, rather than for, the client
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: SUMMARIZING
Definition
Organizing and summing up that which has gone before.
Examples
Have I got this straight?
Youve said that. .
During the past hour, you and I have discussed..
Rationale
Summarization seeks to bring out the important points of the
discussion and to increase the awareness and understanding of
both participants.
It omits the irrelevant and organizes the pertinent aspects of the
interaction.
It allows both client and nurse to depart with the same ideas and
provides a sense of closure at the completion of each discussion.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES:
TRANSLATING INTO FEELINGS
Definition
Seeking to verbalize clients feelings that he or she expresses
only indirectly.
Examples
Client: I am dead.
Nurse: Are you suggesting that you feel lifeless?
Client: I am way out in the ocean.
Nurse: You seem to feel lonely or deserted.
Rationale
Often the client says, when taken literally, seems
meaningless or far removed from reality.
To understand, the nurse must concentrate on what the client
might be feeling to express himself or herself this way.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES:
VERBALIZING THE IMPLIED
Definition
Voicing what the client has hinted at or suggested.
Examples
Client: I cant talk to you or anyone. It is a waste of time.
Nurse: Do you feel that no one understands?
Rationale
Putting into words what the client has implied or said indirectly
tends to make the discussion less obscure.
The nurse should be as direct as possible without being
unfeelingly blunt or obtuse.
The client may have difficulty communicating directly
The nurse should take care to express only what is fairly obvious;
otherwise the nurse may be jumping to conclusions or interpreting
the clients communication
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: VOICING DOUBT
Definition
Expressing uncertainty about the reality of
the clients perceptions.
Examples
Isnt that unusual?
Really?
That is hard to believe.
THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: VOICING DOUBT
Rationale
Another means of responding to distortions of reality is
to express doubt.
Such expression permits the client to become aware
that others do not necessarily perceive events in the
same way or draw the same conclusions.
This does not mean the client will alter his or her point
of view, but at least the nurse will encourage the client
to reconsider or reevaluate what has happened.
The nurse neither agreed nor disagreed; however, he or
she has not let the misperceptions and distortions pass
without comment.

NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
ADVISING
Definition
Telling the client what to do.
Examples
I think you should.
Why dont you?
Rationale
Giving advice implies that only the nurse knows
what is best for the client.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
AGREEING
Definition
Indicating accord with the client.
Examples
That is right.
I agree.
Rationale
Approval indicates the client is right rather than wrong.
This gives the client the impression that he or she is right because
of agreement with the nurse.
Opinions and conclusions should be exclusively the clients
When the nurse agrees with the client, there is no opportunity for
the client to change his or her mind without being wrong
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
BELITTLING FEELINGS
EXPRESSED
Definition
Misjudging the degree of the clients discomfort.
Examples
Client: I have nothing to live for. . . I wish I was dead
Nurse: Everybody gets down in the dumps. OR I have felt that way
myself.
Rationale
When the nurse tries to equate the intense and overwhelming
feelings the client has expressed to everybody or to the nurses
own feelings, the nurse implies that the discomfort is temporary,
mild, self-limiting, or not very important.
The client is focused on this or her own worries and feelings; hearing
the problems or feelings of others is not helpful.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
CHALLENGING
Definition
Demanding proof from the client.
Examples
But how can you be the President of the United States?
If you are dead, why is your heart beating?
Rationale
Often the nurse believes that if he or she can challenge the
client to prove unrealistic ideas, the client will realize there is
no proof and then will recognize reality.
Actually challenging causes the client to defend the delusions
or misperceptions more strongly than before.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
DEFENDING
Definition
Attempting to protect someone or something from verbal attack.
Examples
This hospital has a fine reputation.
I am sure your doctor has your best interests in mind.
Rationale
Defending what the client has criticized implies that he or she has
no right to express impressions, opinions, or feelings.
Testing the client that his or her criticism is unjust or unfounded
does not change the clients feelings but only serves to block
further communication
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
DISAGREEING
Definition
Opposing the clients ideas.
Examples
That is wrong.
I definitely disagree with. . .
I do not believe that. . .
Rationale
Disagreeing implies the client is wrong
Consequently the client feels defensive about his or her
point of view or ideas.
NON-THERAPEUTIC COMMUNICATION
TECHNIQUES: GIVING APPROVAL
Definition
Sanctioning the clients behavior or ideas.
Examples
That is good.
I am glad that. .
Rationale
Saying what the client thinks or feels if good implies that the
opposite is bad.
Approval then, tends to limit the clients freedom to think, speak, or
act in a certain way.
This can lead to the clients acting in a particular way just to please
the nurse.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
GIVING LITERAL RESPONSES
Definition
Responding to a figurative comment as though it were a
statement of fact.
Examples
Client: They are looking in my head with a television camera.
Nurse: Try not to watch television. OR What channel?
Rationale
Often the client is at a loss to describe his or her feelings, so such
comments are the best he or she can do.
Usually it is helpful for the nurse to focus on the clients feelings in
response to such statements.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
INDICATING THE EXISTENCE OF
AN EXTERNAL SOURCE
Definition
Attributing the source of thoughts, feelings,
and behavior to others or to outside
influences.
Examples
What makes you say that?
What made you do that?
Who told you that you were a prophet?
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
INDICATING THE EXISTENCE OF AN
EXTERNAL SOURCE
Rationale
The nurse can ask, What happened? or
What events led you to draw such a
conclusion?
But to question What made you think that?
implies that the client was made or compelled
to think in a certain way.
Usually the nurse does not intend to suggest
that the source is external but that is often
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
INTERPRETING
Definition
Asking to make conscious that which is unconscious; telling the
client the meaning of his or her experience.
Examples
What you really mean is. . .
Unconsciously you are saying. . .
Rationale
The clients thoughts and feelings are his or her own, not to be
interpreted by the nurse or for hidden meaning.
Only the client can identify or confirm the presence of feelings.
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
INTRODUCING AN UNRELATED
TOPIC
Definition
Changing the subject.
Examples
Client: I would like to die.
Nurse Did you have visitors last night?
Rationale
The nurse takes the initiative for the interaction away from
the client.
This usually happens because the nurse is uncomfortable,
does not know how to respond, or has a topic he or she would
rather discuss.
MAKING STEREOTYPED
COMMENTS
Definition
Offering meaningless cliches or trite comments.
Examples
It is for your own good.
Just keep your chin up
Just have a positive attitude and you will be better in no time.
Rationale
Social conversation contains many cliches and much meaningless
chit-chat.
Such comments are of no value in the nurse-client relationship.
Any automatic responses will lack the nurses consideration or
thoughtfulness.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
PROBING
Definition
Persistent questioning of the client.
Examples
Now tell me about this problem. You know I have to find out.
Tell me your psychiatric history.
Rationale
Probing tends to make the client feel used or invaded.
Clients have the right not to talk about issues or concerns if
they choose.
Pushing and probing by the nurse will not encourage the client
to talk.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
REASSURING
Definition
Indicating there is no reason for anxiety or other feelings of discomfort.
Examples:
I would not worry about that.
Everything would be alright.
You are coming along just fine.
Rationale
Attempts to dispel the clients anxiety by implying that there is not
sufficient reason for concern completely devalues the clients feelings.
Vague reassurances without accompanying facts are meaningless to the
client.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
REJECTING
Definition
Refusing to consider or showing contempt for the clients
ideas or behaviors.
Examples
Let us not discuss. . .
I do not want to hear about. . .
Rationale
When the nurse rejects any topic, he or she closes it off from
exploration.
In turn, the client will feel personally rejected along with his
or her ideas.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
REQUESTING AN EXPLANATION
Definition
Asking the client to provide reasons for thoughts, feelings,
behaviors, events.
Examples
Why do you think that?
Why do you feel that way?
Rationale
There is a difference between asking the client to describe what is
occurring or has taken place and asking him to explain why.
Usually a why question is intimidating.
In addition, the client is unlikely to know why and may become
defensive trying to explain himself or herself.
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
TESTING
Definition
Appraising the clients degree of insight.
Examples
Do you know what kind of hospital this is?
Do you still have the idea that. . ?
Rationale
These types of questions force the client to try to recognize
his or her problems.
The clients acknowledgement that he or she does not know
these things may meet the nurses needs but is not helpful
for the client
NON-THERAPEUTIC
COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES:
USING DENIAL
Definition
Refusing to admit that a problem exists.
Examples
Client: I am nothing.
Nurse: Of course you are something. Everybody is something.
Client: I am dead.
Nurse: Do not be silly.
Rationale
The nurse denies the clients feelings or the seriousness of the
situation by dismissing his or her comments without attempting to
discover the feelings or meaning behind them.

Client: I was speeding along the street and did not stop
at the sign
Nurse: Why were you speeding?
Rationale
Responses to why questions are considered
prying, violate the clients privacy and places the
client in a defensive position
What is happening?
What does the voice seem to be saying?
What transpired after that?
Examples:
I would not worry about that.
Everything would be alright.
You are coming along just fine.
Rationale
This response blocks the fears, feelings and other thoughts
of the client. Furthermore, vague reassurances without
accompanying facts are meaningless to the client
Example:
Client: Should I move from my home to
a nursing home?
Nurse: If I were you, Id go to a nursing
home, where youll get your meals
cooked for you
Rationale:
Therapeutic Communication is always client-centered, it is
never nurse-centered.
Examples
Client: I am dead.
Nurse: Are you suggesting that you feel lifeless?
Client: I am way out in the ocean.
Nurse: You seem to feel lonely or deserted.
Rationale:
Therapeutic Communication is always
centered, it is never nurse-centered.

Example:
An adolescent female client working
with a nurse who is about the same age
as the teens parents might react to the
nurse like she reacts to her parents.
She might experience intense feelings of
rebellion or make sarcastic remarks.
Example:
A female nurse who has teenage children and
who is experiencing extreme frustration with an
adolescent client may respond by adopting a
parental or chastising tone.

NEUROTRANSMISSION
Neurons or nerve cells
communicate
information with each
other
by
sending
electrochemical
messages from neuron
to neuron, in a process
called
NEUROTRANSMISSION.
NEUROTRANSMISSION
The dendrites
Through the cell body
Down the axon
Across the gaps between cells (SYNAPSE)
To the dendrite of the next neuron
NEUROTRANSMISSION
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
These
are chemical
substances
manufactured in the
neuron that aid in the
transmission
of
information throughout
the body
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
They either excite or
stimulate an action in
the cells (EXCITATORY)
or inhibit or stop an
action (INHIBITORY).
NEUROTRANSMITTERS
Neurotransmitters
fit
into a specific receptor
cells embedded in the
membrane
of
the
dendrite, just like a

NEUROTRANSMITTERS
After
neurotransmitters
are
released into the synapse and
relay the message to the
receptor cells, they are either:
Transported back from the

like to listen to music or read before bed. Right now I am
reading a good mystery. Maybe I will write a mystery
someday. But is it isnt helping, reading I mean. I have

Sociologic Theories
The social and cultural contexts in which the
individual lives influence the expression of

loose or tenuous, and the individual is not
interested in maintaining his or her relationship

BEHAVIOR
Suicidal threat
A threat more than a casual statement
of suicidal intent and accompanied by
behavioral
changes,
e.g.,
mood
swings, temper outbursts, decline in
school or work performance
LEVELS OF SELF-DESTRUCTIVE
BEHAVIOR
Suicidal gesture
More serious warning signal than a threat
that may be followed by an act that is
carefully planned to attract attention
without seriously injuring the subject
Suicidal attempt
A strong and desperate call for help
involving a definite risk
FAMILY CHARACTERISTIC OF
SUICIDAL PATIENTS
COGNITIVE STYLES OF
SUICIDAL PATIENTS
Ambivalence
They have two conflicting desires at
the same time: to live and to die
Ambivalence accounts for the fact that
a suicidal person often takes lethal or
near-lethal action but leaves open the
possibility for rescue.
COGNITIVE STYLES OF
SUICIDAL PATIENTS
Communication
Some people cannot express their needs or
feelings to others, or when they do, they do
not obtain the results they hope for.
For them, suicide becomes a clear and
direct, if violent, form of communication
