Marshall Rosenberg, Ph.D. (b. October 6, 1934) is an American psychologist and the creator of Nonviolent Communication, a communication process that helps people to exchange the information necessary to resolve conflicts and differences peacefully. He is the founder and Director of Educational Services for the Center for Nonviolent Communication, an international non-profit organization.
Rosenberg was born in Canton, Ohio to Jewish parents, Jean (Weiner) Rosenberg and Fred Rosenberg. His family moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1943, one week prior to the Race Riots of 1943. Marshall has a young brother Calvin, of St. Petersburg, FL, and has three children, Bret, Marla and Rick. He graduated from Cooley High School in Detroit, MI.
In 1961, Rosenberg received his Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison and in 1966 was awarded Diplomate status in clinical psychology from the American Board of Examiners in Professional Psychology. He lives with his wife Valentina in Albuquerque, NM, where the Center for Nonviolent Communication's main office relocated in 2007.
