Healing elements of therapeutic conversation: dialogue as an embodiment of love
Article Abstract:
The basic elements of dialogue are analyzed using perspectives of dialogism and neurobiological development to understand why dialogue becomes a healing experience in a network meeting. The activity of constructing new shared language-incorporating the words that network members bring to the meetings and the new words that emerge from dialogue among team and network members-affords a healing alternative to the language of symptoms or of difficult behavior.
