Book Description
This successful textbook on the psychology of communication explains - here in English for the first time - how human communication works in a very understandable way. It begins with the explanation of central terms and the explanation of known communication models (e.g. the models according to Schulz von Thun, Watzlawick, Hargie and colleagues), then describes means of non-verbal and verbal communication and ends with a clear and structured summary of communication forms. Concrete fields of application, stumbling blocks (e.g. intercultural differences in communication), practical examples and digressions in the book round off what has been read and consolidate what has been learned. In addition, free learning materials are available on the Internet with which readers can test their knowledge acquisition.
About the Author
From the Back Cover Available to English readers for the first time, this new edition and translation of the successful German book explains how human communication works in an approachable, understandable way. It begins by explaining the central terms and themes of the established communication models by Watzlawick, Schulz von Thun, and Hargie and his colleagues; then continues by expanding on ideas of verbal and non-verbal communication; and finally ties these things together with a clearly structured summary of communication forms. Intercultural differences, stumbling blocks, and concrete fields of application are explored, while practical examples and discussion points throughout the book provide insightful overviews of the material to consolidate what's been learned by the reader. Additionally, ancillary learning materials and end-of-chapter questions are available to test the reader's knowledge.This book will be useful to both students and professors of psychology as well as those in the field of communication studies, and anyone interested in learning more about the many faces of communication.
