Abstract: Background and Purpose: Commendations are known as effective family system nursing intervention. However, the process of how commendations are applied and become effective is not yet sufficiently understood. Therefore, this case study aimed to provide a detailed and in-depth description of the phenomenon of commendations. Methods: A single case study was conducted using the case of a family counseling process. Video and audio recordings of three counseling cycles were broken down using a within- and cross-case analysis. In particular, the cross-case analysis enabled the comparison in the course of the counseling process. Results: The phenomenon manifests itself in latent relationship messages or the form of explicit appreciation conveyed by the consultant. Through four different phases (establishing a relationship, listening, acknowledging suffering as well as strength and experiences), it becomes apparent during the process that commending is part of actively shaping the conversation and building a cooperative relationship. The key element is the nonjudgmental, benevolent attitude of the consultant. It becomes clear that commendation seems to be more than just an intervention, as it is strongly connected to attitude. To account more precisely for the processual nature as well as the latent communication, the phenomenon is referred to as "commending." Conclusions and Implications: These insights can support nurses and other health professionals to reflect on their attitudes and advance their clinical practice. These results suggest that a deliberate focus on attitude development in practice as well as in teaching could be useful.
