Nonviolent Communication (NVC) is an approach to enhanced communication, understanding, and connection based on the principles of nonviolence and humanistic psychology. It is not an attempt to end disagreements, but rather a way that aims to increase empathy and understanding to improve the overall quality of life.

It seeks empathic dialogue and understanding among all parties. Nonviolent communication evolved from concepts used in person-centered therapy and was developed by clinical psychologist Marshall Rosenberg beginning in the 1960s and 1970s.

NVC is a communication tool with the goal of first creating empathy in the conversation. The idea is that once people hear one another, it will be much easier to talk about a solution that satisfies all parties' fundamental needs. The goal is interpersonal harmony and obtaining knowledge for future cooperation. Notable concepts include rejecting coercive forms of discourse, gathering facts through observing without evaluating, genuinely and concretely expressing feelings and needs, and formulating effective and empathetic requests. Nonviolent communication is used as a clinical psychotherapy modality and it is also offered in workshops for the general public, particularly with regard to seeking harmony in relationships and at workplaces.
