Eliciting and Defining the Nature of Rackets

Abstract

Describes a technique to assist the Child as well as the Adult of the client to recognize that racket responses are chosen by the individual rather than being natural, necessary, or universal. Responses of group members are elicited to a situation in which one member reports a racket feeling (R. Erskine and M. Zalcman). Alternatively, a situation may be described and individual responses identified.
