Each exercise involves writing a brief abstract so that students can translate results into a cohesive and concise story about their data.

Designed to teach students the fundamental interviewing tools (e.g., empathy, reflection, summarizing, etc.) that comprise professional clinical contact and can be used in all clinical skills courses and practica across the human services.
