ABSTRACT

Nonviolent communication (NVC), a person-centered communication process, is a potential tool for enhancing the interpersonal effects of emotion-focused therapy. After establishing NVC’s model for fostering compassionate communication and connection between people, we present NVC’s interpersonal processes and the theoretical premises for its use in emotion-focused therapy. We elaborate how an emotion-focused therapist could introduce NVC as a facilitating tool for helping clients express their needs in a manner that likely engenders compassion. NVC also assists clients in hearing others with empathy outside the therapy session, without the emotion regulation support from the therapist. The timing for the beneficial use is described for both the individual and couples therapy process.

摘要

非暴力沟通 (NVC) 是一种以人为中心的沟通过程，是一种潜在的工具，可以增强以情绪为中心的治疗的人际关系效果。在建立 NVC 促进人与人之间富有同情心的交流和联系的模型之后，我们介绍了 NVC 的人际关系过程及其在情绪聚焦治疗中的应用理论前提。我们详细阐述了以情绪为中心的治疗师如何将非暴力沟通作为一种促进工具来帮助客户以可能产生同情心的方式表达他们的需求。NVC 还帮助客户在治疗过程之外以同理心倾听他人的声音，而无需治疗师的情绪调节支持。对个人和夫妻治疗过程都描述了有益使用的时间。
