Non-Violent Communication: The 14-week practical programme

This workbook by Lucy Leu, translated from the English by Michael Dillo and published by Junfermann Verlag, is a practical guide for practice groups and NVC courses. Across 216 pages, you’ll find the material for a complete 14-week course in Non-Violent Communication, based on Marshall B. Rosenberg’s seminal work *Non-Violent Communication: A Language of Life*.

The programme is primarily designed for group learning, but can also be worked through via self-study. Lucy Leu compares learning NVC to learning a foreign language: first, you need the basic concepts – the ‘grammar’, so to speak. It is only this foundation that will later enable you to use it confidently.

The difference compared to a foreign language is that you don’t need someone else who has also mastered NVC. You can practise with your parents, your children, colleagues and managers, friends and partners, strangers and even yourself.

Dr Georg Singe writes on socialnet.de: “Highly recommended for all practitioners of NVC.”
