Blame as the Culprit for Disconnection
When the Detroit race riots erupted in 1943, Rosenberg watched from his window — nine years old. It didn’t make him afraid. It made him curious: What causes this kind of rage? What he discovered would later be taught in prisons, conflict zones, schools, and bedrooms. He didn’t just invent a method. He uncovered a language for naming pain without turning it into punishment.
Marshall Rosenberg was a clinical psychologist and creator of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), a revolutionary framework for resolving conflict by focusing on needs over blame. His method has been adopted in global conflict zones, schools, and intimate relationships alike.
