Therapists must have strong communication skills, in order to be effective clinicians. A part of having strong communication skills is being an active listener, which means:
  1. Making eye contact
  2. Hearing what the client says
  3. Paraphrasing what the client says
  4. None of the above
Explanation
Answer: C - Active listening is an essential communication skill for clinicians. Active listening involves re-stating, or paraphrasing what the client has said in his or her own words. It is a way for the clinician to verify that what they heard the client say is accurate, and to let the client know he or she is being understood.
