Abstract:
Presents the Changes listening community model as a way for teaching 2 skills: listening and focusing. These skills may be used for personal growth, helping others, and resolving conflicts in relationships and groups. The model relies on the exchange of peer counseling turns and provides an alternative to traditional psychotherapy. The practice of these skills and their use in interpersonal processing and consensual decision-making are discussed.
