Rapport building is one of those terms that we think we know it when we see it and agree should be a part of our client-therapist interactions. But when you think about it for a minute, do we really know how to "rapport"? This week we review some research looking to put a little more specificity into building and measuring effective creation of rapport. Because just being nice will only get you so far.

This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
