Person-centred communication involves significant and empathic
perception and understanding of oneself and others. This book uses
the humanistic psychology of Carl Rogers to offer a comprehensive
person-centred communication framework, which the authors have
tried and tested in therapeutic, education and management practice.
Skilfully blending theory with practice, the authors explain the
core skills of person-centred communication. There are reflective
exercises and conversation transcripts from a variety of settings,
along with many examples from therapy and related helping
professions. These span diverse life situations and applications,
including: One-to-one work with clientsTeamwork and
groupworkLifelong learningReflectionOnline and other written forms
of communication Exploring these real life situations offers
invaluable inspiration to therapists, students and trainees as well
as practitioners in the helping professions. This book will help
you to process your experiences more sensitively, thus improving
your own practice, relationships, and teamwork. "This inspiring
work is not primarily about counselling practice; it is a book that
encapsulates the nature of the person-centred approach (PCA) as a
'way of being' rather than a school of therapy ... In my opinion
this book should be read by every potential power wielding human
being likely to make any impact on the world!"Therapy Today,
October 2014"This book shows the incredible value of person-centred
communication to educators, psychologists and leaders, anyone
interested in effective, helpful and growthful human relationships
will find this an excellent resource." Stephen Joseph, Professor of
Psychology, Health and Social Care, University of Nottingham, UK"No
matter what your field or context, Person-centred Communication
offers a path to a more meaningful, successful life. As researchers
and practitioners with a wealth of experience, Renate and Ladislav
share their communication expertise in management, information
technology, education, psychology, psychotherapy, and everyday
life. They find beautiful and time-tested ways to share how
communication can be enhanced to help you live a more satisfying
life. The book is easy to read, with rich content and helpful
organizers, such as text boxes and hands-on activities to help
transfer your learning into all areas of your life." Jeffrey H. D.
Cornelius-White, Professor and Graduate Program Coordinator of
Counseling, Missouri State University, USA"This book presents a
very good understanding of theory and practice of the person
-centred approach and I believe it can be helpful for the
professional and student interested in person centred
communication. The authors' presentation of live case examples,
personal experiences, questions asking the reader to reflect and
the connections they make with other sources pertaining to subjects
outside the Person Centred way, makes for an enjoyable and valuable
reading." Antonio Monteiro dos Santos, Clinical, Coaching &
Counselling Psychologist, USA and Brazil"The authors bring together
modern scientific data, practice and everyday experience to reveal
the depth and power of person-centred communication. In a
continuing dialogue with the reader they inspire and guide through
case scenarios, suggestions for reflections and exercises - to
develop one's own unique person-centred way of communication."
Veniamin Kolpachnikov, Associated Professor, Higher School of
Economics, National Research University, Moscow, Russia "Carl
Rogers was the greatest influence on our culture of interpersonal
communication in the past century, as the originator of what we now
refer to as active listening. One of the most ardent and sincere
advocates of explaining Rogers to the current generation is Renate
Motschnig. In this book, she and her colleague, Ladislav Nykl, do
an excellent job of illustrating the importance of the
person-centred approach, with moving stories and systemic
applications. This is a great book at the right time for all those
interested in avoiding power struggles, communication breakdowns
and even those little personal wars that constantly wear us down.
This book, in other words, can change your life for the better!"
David Ryback, President of EQ Associates International and author
of Putting Emotional Intelligence to Work, ConnectAbility and over
60 professional articles"The authors demonstrate how the
person-centered approach is universally applicable and confirm its
effectiveness in both the therapeutic and non-therapeutic context."
Eva Sollarova, Professor of Psychology and Dean, Constantine the
Philosopher University, Nitra, Slovakia"I enjoyed the authors'
lively discussion in this new book from several perspectives, as it
touches on communication in teaching, research, and psychotherapy.
As an academic, I particularly value the integrated approach of the
book, which combines a clear presentation of scientific theories
with the practical experience of both authors. It makes the book a
great instrument for teaching but also, particularly, in learning
and personal development - and so I would recommend the book to
anyone doing one-to-one work with others, or anyone interested in
the subject of understanding oneself and others in communication.At
the end, a very personal insight of the authors is included; it is
a feature that one usually does not see in a book on communication
but it a welcome addition that makes the book all the more
authentic. Last but not least, the book contains a rich set of
bibliographical references for further reading." Tomas Pitner, PhD,
Associate Professor, Masaryk University, Brno, Czech Republic"I
think this book can claim to be different. It takes Rogers'
humanistic view of the person - the basic 'attitudes' of
acceptance, empathic understanding and congruence, and the way they
are applied in person-centred counselling and psychotherapy - and
develops these as 'a way of being' applicable to wider life
situations." Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal,
January 2015
