ABSTRACT
However, as we have noted elsewhere (Dryden and Neenan 2004a), there are other types of psychological change. For example, there is inferential change where you help clients to change their inferences and interpretations of a situation (e.g. when you help a client to see that what they saw as destructive criticism from a boss was more likely to be constructive feedback). There is behavioural change which involves helping clients to change their behaviour (e.g. when you encourage one of your shy clients to ask others open rather than closed questions). There is environmental change which involves encouraging clients to change the negative activating events in their lives (e.g. when you encourage a client to leave a job where she is being bullied).
