Description
Assertion techniques are not merely concerned with go-getting lifestyles, or with making a spirited defence against sexist or racist behaviour. They are a tool for everyday life, enabling individuals to enhance their personal lives and to be more effective both personally and professionally. "Assertion Training" explains techniques for achieving this goal. Drawing on illustrative examples and exercises, the contributors to this volume describe how to define goals, how to change negative thought patterns, how to value opinions, how to deal with rejection and criticism, and how to build self-esteem and confidence.
