If you follow that back, it turns out that 'active listening' was introduced as a skill/approach for counselors and therapists in controlled settings with their patients. It might be best reserved for such situations.

- sirsinsalot 5y agoActive listening goes further back and is described (though not named) by Carl Rogers in the 1950s If you're interested in how other people can present an environment for human growth, his work is still as relevant today as ever.
- wintermutestwin 5y agoActive listening is a key component in conflict resolution. Counter to popular opinion, active listening is not patiently keeping your mouth shut and trying to make the other think you are paying attention. Key word is active and it means asking clarifying questions and humbly testing your understanding of what they are saying. Exercised as such, I find it is "best reserved" for just about every conversation you have.
