Although an anecdotal association between communication and family
violence was noted early in the family violence literature, a
communication approach to family violence has been underrepresented
in the literature. This book is a welcome contribution to the
literature because it demonstrates that the connection between
communication and family violence is much more complex than a
skills deficit of one or more members of a violent relationship.
--Gail Whitchurch, Department of Communication Studies, Indiana
University Adding an innovative perspective to traditional
psychological and sociological approaches, Family Violence from a
Communication Perspective lays out a new theoretical framework for
understanding and resolving abusive family interactions. This
exceptional volume features contributions from a variety of
disciplines that examine the interactional processes at the core of
domestic abuse, aggression, and violence. The contributors explore
the development of violence in the family, beginning with courtship
violence, proceeding through marital violence, and perpetuated
through parent-child violence. Providing keen insight, the chapters
examine the commonalities and differences inherent in emotional,
psychological, verbal, and sexual abuse and how they all stem from
basic communication problems. An essential resource for students
and scholars in communication, family studies, relationship
studies, psychology, sociology, and women's studies, Family
Violence from a Communication Perspective also offers a refreshing
viewpoint for professionals in the human services.
