Worksheet Set „4-Sides-Model“

The 4-Sides-Model – A Communications Model from Schulz von Thun

The 4-sides model is based on 4 levels on which messages can be communicated and heard:

• the factual level,
• the self-revelation level,
• the relationship level,
• and the appeal level.

Page 1 of this two-page worksheet set contains all the important information about this versatile model and, in addition to psychoeducation and an illustrative example, also offers space for your own example so that you (or your patient or client) can try out what you or they have just learned.

The second worksheet encourages students to explore their own messages on different levels from the perspective of the sender and receiver – including the resulting consequences for both parties. This template is well suited for further work at home.

With this worksheet set, you can clearly convey the communication model and your patients and clients can practise discovering the four levels of a statement. It is ideal for all people with interactional issues, dysfunctional relationship dynamics, partnership conflicts and so on. Perfect for couples and groups!
