ABSTRACT

The communicative approach embraces adaptation and communication as its fundamentals. This strategy has led to the careful definition of conscious and unconscious communication as described in the chapter 5. Communicative listening and formulating made it possible to explore and map the architecture of the emotion-processing mind—the cognitive mental module that is responsible for adapting to emotionally charged impingements or triggering events. Definition of this module has made feasible a scenario for its evolutionary history and development and generated fresh insights into its immediate adaptive functioning.
