The more general aspects of communication and their importance in establishing an adequate and effective interpersonal relationship are fundamental to establishing an interpersonal relationship that responds to the real needs of each person. In order to effectively adapt the relationship established to the specific situations experienced by the person, it is essential to deepen strategies that guarantee effective observation, the ability to adequately develop the interview and that promote teamwork.
