Description

Written by two well-respected researchers and authors in the field, this book offers the most comprehensive and widely-used developmental and analytical approach to communication in close relationships. It focuses on the role of communication in the coming together and the coming apart of relationships. This accessible book introduces readers to relational communication theories by using common examples relationships with roommates, friends, and parents to help readers better understand concepts. Furthermore, the book's core model, introduced in Chapter 2, can be applied to the diverse range of relationships that readers have experienced or will experience throughout their lives. A classic for more than twenty years, Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships retains all of its highly-praised features in the fourth edition, including the latest research from communication and social psychology; thorough coverage of dialogue, speech, and interaction patterns; interesting boxed inserts, cartoons, and diagnostic tests; and an effective writing style that engages readers and holds interest.
