Theoretical foundation and practical implementation in a package: The basic book conveys knowledge of the philosophy of language and has concrete recommendations for one's own advisory and therapeutic activities. What are the facets of the term language in this context? How is spoken in which systems? What styles of language are there? How can new language styles be effectively integrated into one's own practice? And how can we grasp as clearly as possible what is actually being said or should be said? How can we, from a meta perspective, observe our own language and that of others without judgment and recognize their characteristics and patterns? Numerous case studies as well as an abundance of specific exercises for listening, asking questions and speaking lead to practical work. The additional digital material contains further offers for self-reflection and illustrative video clips.
