Description

This book contains author George J. Thompson's insights into verbal conflict de-escalation from his years as both an academic and a police officer. Thompson and co-author Jerry B. Jenkins provides step-by-step instructions in the “gentle way” of persuasion, with a special emphasis on police de-escalation tactics. Thompson presents empathy as the central concept of de-escalation, and much of the book is centered around how to treat people empathically so that they will be more inclined to follow instructions.
