Syllabus


There is a well-known saying about „impossibility not to communicate with others“, less known, but equally true of Konrad Lorenz: „saying does not mean to hear yet, hearing does not mean to understand yet …“ In practice, we can encounter various influences and difficulties, the interviewer and the listener, who are distracting in communication. For example, we can mention, for example, bringing tensions and emotions into the conversation, expressing aggression, constant praise and compliments, unwillingness to hear something, searching for „one objective truth“, jumping into speech, etc. The different communication systems mentioned here approaches in dealing with these disturbances and difficulties.
