Product Description
Product Description
Intensive Interaction is an extremely effective approach for communicating and developing emotional engagement with difficult-to-reach individuals. This easy-to-use guide steers those who wish to use Intensive Interaction through its practical application, showing how positive results can be achieved by everyone. The three-part structure explains how to prepare for, carry out, and reflect on the use of Intensive Interaction with a client or family member, followed by a final section that considers some wider implications of the approach. The authors answer a multitude of key questions from how to find the right setting to how to disengage properly at the end of a session. This practical and accessible book is will be useful to anyone who wishes to learn how to use Intensive Interaction, including family members, carers and other professionals working with people with social or communicative impairments, as well as Intensive Interaction practitioners of all levels of experience.

Format:Paperback
This excellent book is a really useful guide for those new to Intensive Interaction, but equally so for more experienced practitioners. It is easy to read, clear and straightforward yet the authors manage to go into intricate detail the nuances of communication between two people. They have identified communication behaviours that are largely unconscious in order for the practitioner to learn and develop their skills and to grow in confidence.
This book goes step by step through all aspects of Intensive Interaction, exploring the differing issues associated with working with known and unknown individuals. All factors are considered: the environment, time available and the physical and emotional wellbeing of the person. There are tips for encouraging sustainability of the approach within a work place, advice for when interactions don't appear to be working and even some examples of different recording sheets that can be used.
Graham Firth and Mark Barber have created a truly comprehensive guide that leaves no stone unturned.
