Empathic Times 3/2021: Method and Attitude: What is non-violence?

The 28th issue of Empathische Zeit is devoted to a subject that repeatedly sparks discussion in NVC: attitude and method. What actually constitutes the much-quoted attitude of Nonviolent Communication, and what belongs more to the method? The contributions in this issue bring together many different perspectives on a subject that is not easy to define.

You will also find reports on finding a good place for the inner child, the question of why ableism also harms non-disabled people and the founding of the group ‘NVC for Future’, which focuses on climate action and NVC. There is also the fifth part of the series ‘Die schönsten Irrtümer über die GFK’ with a downloadable worksheet, a report on the separation of Executive Director Maria Arpa and the CNVC, a farewell to trainer Beate Ronnefeld, who died aged 65, and a look at NVC in psychiatry, in treatment and as a tool for organisational development. The magazine is rounded out by news from the NVC network and its organisations.

With contributions from Thomas Streipert, Darja Trende, Gaby Schuster, Sabine Zaun, Christine Kabst, Susanne Kraft, Annett Zupke, Olaf Hartke, Lorna Ritchie, Marina Stege, Al Weckert, Dr Katja Oomen-Welke and Doctor-medic Günther Mild.
