Book excerpt: In Links between Communication Competency and Social Competency during and after an Artists Career, Nahvi examines artists using his firsthand experience as an artist, film documentaries, and research articles discussing social and communication competency in order to deliver a clear explanation of what barriers artists face in communicating and relating with other artists and non-artists. Artists tend to deprive themselves of face-to-face communication for prolonged periods of time for the sole purpose of immersing themselves in their art, and in doing so social and communication difficulties arise. These deficiencies are a means to use and abuse artists, which are often times preserved through stereotype reinforcement. It is essential to recognize these weaknesses and find ways to improve them. This study provides an inside look at artists and the interpersonal relations and social behavior and influence affecting this group, and provides recommendations for how artists can retrain themselves to develop their social and communication skills.
