Interpersonal relationships are the core of our societal system and
have been since before the dawn of civilization. In today's world,
friends, lovers, companions, and confidants make valuable
contributions to our everyday lives. These are the relationships
whose members are not automatically participants as a result of
their birth and kin affiliations. The focus is on these
relationships that must be forged from the sometimes indifferent,
and sometimes hostile world. Yet, there is still much that is not
known about how these relationships evolve, how partners
communicate in on-going relationships, how people keep their
relationships together, and how they cope when they fall apart.
Primary to the focus of this book is the underlying theme of
evolving interpersonal relationships from the initial encounter to
the mature alliance.
The contributors to this volume provide a contemporary perspective
for the study of interpersonal relationships. Fresh areas of
scholarly inquiry are presented and existing approaches are
re-examined. Research in the introductory chapters breaks new
ground, and appraises the ultimate question of what impact initial
interactions have on further relational development. The
mid-section of the volume concerns communication issues that
confront the members of a relationship in process, focusing on how
conflict and jealousy are communicated to a relational partner.
This research considers relational development as well as obstacles
and barriers to evolving relationships. The concluding chapters
probe the question: Ultimately do all good things have to come to
an end? Employing innovative techniques to examine maturing and
disengaging relationships, the researchpresented here focuses on
how interpersonal relationships become committed and mature.
