How Can This Book Help?

Dr. Clabby’s new book, Two Minute Talks to Improve Psychological and Behavioral Health, offers step-by-step directions for healthcare professionals and others who want to provide effective, responsive, and empathetic care in time-limited situations.

The Foreword is written by Kenneth Faistl, MD, FAAFP, Director of the CentraState Family Medicine Residency and Geriatric Fellowship Program. Published by Radcliffe Publishers, Two Minute Talks teaches powerful and evidence-based techniques for briefly advising others about such issues as: cultivating healthy marriages and relationships, parenting, developing sensible eating habits, managing stress, anxiety, and depression; grieving the loss of a loved one, and handling interpersonal challenges at work. It is a practical book with brief accessible chapters written for busy professional caregivers and other adults who are approached for advice.

Dr. Clabby shows not only how to listen effectively but how to provide concise, pragmatic advice that is well-received. According to Dr. Clabby, “Many health care professionals, educators, and others in advising roles may avoid asking about others’ psychosocial lives.  They are understandably concerned about opening a conversation where they feel flooded with issues they can’t manage in the time they have. This can change. Much can be competently addressed in time-efficient and healing exchanges. Nurses and physicians can bring a couple closer by advising them to protect the first 15 minutes of their encounter; teachers can reduce depression and anxiety in their colleagues by skillfully moving others from “misery talk” to meaningful “positive talk”; and family members can help with anger management by teaching imagery and muscle relaxation. I know because I have seen it done.”
