Abstract

Social skills are critical to the success of therapeutic processes because they have a direct impact on the quality of communication between therapists and patients. When a person improves these skills, they are better able to express their feelings and perceptions clearly and properly, making it easier to identify underlying difficulties and devise intervention options. Furthermore, patients who improve their social skills handle stressful situations better because they may form stronger connections and manage conflicts more efficiently. This advancement adds not only to immediate clinical treatment improvements, but also to the preservation of long-term therapeutic advantages, reducing symptom recurrence and fostering a higher quality of life [1].
