Gestalt Communication and Emotional Intelligence

Gestalt Communication and Emotional Intelligence explore the intricate dynamics of human interaction, blending the principles of Gestalt psychology with the transformative power of emotional intelligence. This book challenges traditional approaches to communication by advocating for a holistic understanding of human behavior, providing deep insight into how these concepts shape relationships.
The journey begins with an examination of communication styles, exploring how open and manipulative dialogues shape positive and negative relationships. It then explains the dual functions of communication, explaining how it fulfills both short-term and long-term social needs, from casual interactions to deep, meaningful connections. The concept of Gestalt communication emerges as a framework for understanding the interplay between overt and covert messages, enhancing self-awareness and empathy.
Drawing on the work of Goleman (2011) and Mayer and Salovey (1993), the book examines the development of the concept of emotional intelligence and the factors such as cognitive processes and attribution that shape it. Moreover, the book emphasizes the role of introspection in emotional growth, distinguishing between mindless and mindful introspection. It provides tools for self-reflection, self-growth, and understanding others, empowering readers to navigate complex emotional and cognitive landscapes.
By integrating Gestalt communication with emotional intelligence, this book equips readers with practical strategies to resolve conflicts and foster positive interaction and meaningful connections.
