Assume you are in close relation with her/him. You can talk, discuss, shout etc. Assume you are her/his father/mother or spouse or sibling. You know that her/his thinking is not right (assume you are wiser), and you want to influence her/his thinking and bring it in the right direction. What will you do?

ya u can certainly influence someone frm doin wrong or against wat they are doin .. one way is to keep telling them everytime about right n wrong indirectly or directly . first they may get wild on u for sometime or even hate u for tellin so ... but u should not be rude in any case and u should give them freedom to think but dont leave the track of pricking them about the same thing .. u may even ask others who are close to him or her to tell the same but in the most different way frm urs .. u can even talk to them peacefully ... or even tell incidences wich make them realise they are wrong . and to ur suprise they will change to be right .... and i am sure this will work....... bcoz it worked for me .. thats how i was brought into control and got influeced a lot .. wen my parents repeated the same thing againn again .. this as happened even to my friendz .. i am sure it will work but it will take some time....
the other way is to be open to them . talk to them clearly wats right n wats wrong . but dont stop them frm doin wat they wanna do for few days ... but slowly try to reduce or decrease wat they are doing or thinking by restricting them frm doin few things widout making them realise that .. n makin them feel the difference wid that lil good change in them ..... this will also surely help u change wat they are thinking or doing.............. hopethis helps take care

Yes, I agree with you.
Showing proper way and showing right direction to a person whos thinking is not right is a utmost duty of a father/mother/spouse/sibling or friend.

It can be possibile, provided you have the required skills to study and understand a person and also knows the 'art' of how to influence (by the way you talk, by the way you act etc). Also it depends on the other person, how receiptive he/she is. There are some people who may be much thougher/smarter than you...
From my own experience, i have effects of people with whom i worked and also able to influence/inspire some...

I'd start by anchoring a feeling of self belief, then another of doubt and/or worry. then I'd ask them to think of the consequences of their current actions and trigger the doubt/worry and let them know if they did it my way things would be better whilst triggering the self belief anchor, I'd also use some subtle language patterns to alter their view point.
if this sounds interesting to you go do a course in NLP

Yes, it's called persuasion. There are many theories regarding this, try googling the elaboration likelihood model (ELM)

1- exposure him/ her to new experiences because experience could change thinking process but it needs some time.
2- etc
