“It’s never what people do that makes us angry; it’s what we tell ourselves about what they did.”
Marshall Rosenberg (1934 – 2015)
An Ohio native who grew up in what he described as “a rough neighborhood in Detroit,” Rosenberg attended Cooley High School and went on to the University of Wisconsin at Madison, receiving a PhD in Clinical Psychology in 1961. He was active in the civil rights movement and in educational reform where he observed passionate debate and even hatred from both sides of these contentious issues. As a response, he founded the Center for Nonviolent Communication in Albuquerque, New Mexico, as a training center for those engaged in peacemaking and conflict resolution. His training sessions and programs have been employed in 60 countries around the world and have served as a model in South Africa, Israel, Yugoslavia, and Afghanistan.
