Description
Why we act the way we do; how we talk about it addresses communication difficulties in relationships. Using the couple relationship as her model, Dr. Danks illustrates that all communication is based in the behavior of the person attempting to communicate. Because so many are unaware of their own behavior and motivations, communication is ineffective. Part I defines behavior and the ways in which it manifests with different personalities; Part II allows the reader to communicate in an honest and non-threatening manner. Communication blunders are identified along with effective ways to avoid them. Ideal for families, teachers, coaches and anyone who supervises or prepares others for leadership.
