Utilizing Improvisation to Teach Empathy Skills in Counselor Education
Bayne, Hannah B.; Jangha, Awa
Counselor Education and Supervision, v55 n4 p250-262 Dec 2016
Empathy development is foundational to counselor training, yet there is scant research on techniques for teaching empathy aside from traditional microskills models. The authors discuss empathy as a skill set, highlight how improvisation (improv) can be used to enhance training, and describe how to incorporate improv activities within the classroom.
