Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D.
Marshall B. Rosenberg is founder and director of educational services for the Center for Nonviolent Communicationsm, an international, nonprofit organization.
Rosenberg received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Wisconsin and was awarded diplomate status in clinical psychology from the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology.
Nonviolent Communication training evolved from Dr. Rosenberg's quest to find a way of rapidly disseminating much needed peacemaking skills. The Center for Nonviolent Communication emerged out of work he was doing with civil rights activists in the early 1960s. During this period he provided mediation and communication skills training to communities working to peacefully desegregate schools and other public institutions.
Nonviolent Communication training has had extremely positive effects at personal, professional, and political levels. Rosenberg provides Nonviolent Communication training in Sweden, Switzerland, Italy, Germany, Denmark, Belgium, Austria, Malaysia, India, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, France, and Canada, as well as in the United States. He is also active in war-torn areas and economically disadvantaged countries, offering Nonviolent Communication training to promote reconciliation and peaceful resolution of differences. Israel, Palestine, Ireland, Russia, Rwanda, Burundi, Nigeria, Serbia, and Croatia are examples of countries where Nonviolent Communication is being utilized by teams of peace activists.
Rosenberg has been able to teach individuals to give the training in their own community, work, educational, and political environments, and in their own languages, with the same positive effects. His many books and CDs teach how Nonviolent Communication can be used in a wide range of personal and social settings; they include Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life: Create Your Life, Your Relationships, and Your World in Harmony with Your Values and Raising Children Compassionately: Parenting The Nonviolent Communication Way (Nonviolent Communication Guides). |
