Some time ago, I remember reading that therapists in training
will, as a learning exercise, write down theraputic conversation
as close to "verbatim" as they can, as soon after the conversation
as possible. It seems to me this is a good exercise for working on
dialogue skills, in that
* knowing you're going to write it down from memory
may force closer attention to the conversation, thus helping to
keep automatic conversation habits from kicking in;
* once you do write it down, you have data for analysis
to tell you what went wrong or right in your practice to date.
