--Mark Waldman in Contemporary Psychology "Each chapter of
Confronting Relationship Challenges has something new to say. . . .
The chapters offer rich opportunities for researchers to expand
their investigations and their conceptualizations. . . . This book
will challenge the reader to enhanced understanding and increased
commitment to appropriate intervening when others (and ourselves)
are overwhelmed by the 'dark side' of relationships." --Judith L.
Fischer in Journal of Marriage and the Family Addressing the
difficult side of relationships, Confronting Relationship
Challenges moves forward in the Understanding Relationship
Processes Series by taking an honest look at what can go wrong with
relationships and highlighting some of the challenges partners
might face while struggling to comprehend their connectedness to
one another. Edited by Steve Duck and Julia Wood, discussion in
this volume moves away from any implication that relationships are
only good and delightful. Even in the very closest of
relationships, pain and suffering are inevitable and the
contributing scholars examine the management and tolerance skills
required of participants in order to construct meaningful
interpretations of themselves, each other, and the relationship as
all components evolve and interact in continually changing
contexts. Relationship challenges examined in this book include
conflict, enemies, the reconfiguring "family" after a divorce,
codependency, interpersonal violence, HIV/AIDS, chronic illness,
and managing grief over a partner's death. Students and scholars in
interpersonal communication, social psychology, clinical/counseling
psychology, family studies, psychology and sociology will find this
volume to be a valuable resource.
