With the field of personal relationships having grown dramatically
in the past quarter century, The Cambridge Handbook of Personal
Relationships, Second Edition serves as a benchmark of the current
state of scholarship, synthesizing the extant theoretical and
empirical literature, tracing its historical roots, and making
recommendations for future directions. Written by internationally
known experts from key disciplines, the Handbook addresses both
fundamental questions and cutting-edge concerns. This second
edition has been thoroughly updated to reflect recent developments
in analytical techniques, shifts in theoretical emphases, and an
increased attention to social processes. New chapters include the
Neuroscience of Salutary Close Relationships; Self-Disclosure in
Relationships; Acceptance, Rejection, and the Quest for Relational
Value; Relationships and Physical Health; Personal Relationships
and Technology in the Digital Age; and Promoting Healthy
Relationships. This compendium of state-of-the-art research and
theory on personal relationships will be of great value to
researchers, graduate students, and practitioners.
The field of communication was founded, in part, because of a need
to make people better communicators. That meant teaching them how
to communicate more effectively, whether it be in public settings
or in private. Most of that teaching has happened within the
classroom and many professionals have spent their lives instructing
others on various aspects of communication. Inside this second
edition, the editors have assembled a fully comprehensive and
contemporary discussion of topics and issues concerning the
teaching of communication. The chapters contained
herein--contributed by key voices throughout the communication
discipline--address conceptual as well as practical issues related
to communication instruction. The contents of this new edition
reflect the dramatic changes that have occurred in communication
education since the publication of the first edition in 1990.
This book focuses initially on the goals of communication
education, then delves into the preparation of specific
communication courses. It includes assistance for instructors in
organizing instructional content and discusses the use of
instructional strategies and tools, as well as offering ideas on
evaluating the processes and products of instruction. The volume
also covers unique teaching assignments that may be encountered,
from the basic course to continuing education, and addresses 2-year
college teaching, directing forensic programs, distance education,
and consulting. It concludes with important professional issues
faced by both new and experienced communication instructors,
including ethics and political issues within classrooms and
departments.
This volume is a necessity for anyone starting out a career as a
communication instructor. Veteran educators--who know that learning
to teach is a continual growth experience--will find useful and
invaluable information within the book's pages. Whatever background
and level of experience, all communication educators will find this
new edition to be an essential resource for their work.

Feeling Hurt in Close Relationships presents a synthesis of
cutting-edge research and theory on hurt. Being hurt is an
inevitable part of close relationships. What varies from
relationship to relationship is not whether partners hurt each
other, but how their relationship is affected by hurtful episodes.
Given the potential influence of hurt feelings on people's
interpersonal relationships, it is not surprising that scholars
have begun to study the antecedents, processes, and outcomes
associated with hurt. This collection integrates the various issues
addressed by researchers, theorists, and practitioners who study
the causes of hurt feelings, the interpersonal events associated
with hurt, and the ways people respond to hurting and being hurt by
others. To capture the breadth and depth of the literature in this
area, the work of scholars from a variety of disciplines -
including social psychology, communication, sociology, and family
studies - is highlighted.
This volume presents cutting edge research and theory on stability and change in personal relationships. The first section includes chapters that describe the "scaffolding " of stability and change. It focuses on various qualities that partners bring to their relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that characterize relationships. Chapters focus on issues such as arguing and sacrificing. The final section of the volume describes the influences of social environments on stability and change in relationships. Historical and cross-cultural contexts are examined, as are social networks and the effect of technology.

Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding
actors, behaviors, and contexts. This 2002 volume presents research
from a variety of disciplines that examine personal relationships
on all three levels. The first section focuses on the factors that
influence individuals to enter, maintain, and dissolve
relationships. The second section emphasizes ongoing processes that
characterize relationships and focuses on issues such as arguing
and sacrificing. The third and final section demonstrates that the
process of stability and change are embedded in social, cultural,
and historical contexts. Chapters address cultural universals as
well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and
outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the
interaction between people and computers, is also explored.
Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a
broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology,
communications, gerontology, and counselling.
