Communication and counseling are central elements in educational work. However, many aspiring educators find this topic lacking in their training and studies. This volume of the KompaktWISSEN series addresses the need to acquire more communication and counseling skills. The book presents a wealth of practically applicable conversation techniques and interventions. These techniques and the underlying concepts are illustrated and explained through practical examples. The techniques are particularly relevant for fields such as counseling (for example, in outpatient youth services, counseling centers), education (for example, in daycare centers, youth living communities, open youth work), and learning (for example, in daycare centers, after-school care). A central goal of the book is to support learners in the (further) development of professional knowledge, skills, and attitudes in communicative processes.
