Review # 1 was written on 2016-02-06 00:00:00 Hilario Fareaux I am really torn on this one. In some ways it's a really good book - especially for those who have never had any professional interviewing experience. For someone who wanted to know the subtle nuances of reflecting content and meaning and feelings when interviewing someone. It would have been a fantastic book for one of my undergraduate classes. (And, of course, the fact that it was chosen for a graduate course should not bear on the author at all.) But then there's an entire section dedicated to detailing how messages are transmitted and received between people who are talking. And it's so spelled out as to be painful. Same for the difference between a conversation and an interview. I felt those parts could have been a lot shorter. I think it was too long, but not all of the information presented was a waste of space or time.
