Originally published in 1986, this book is a result of the first
International Conference on Personal Relationships held in 1982.
The conference itself was a significant event in publicly bringing
together major figures whose work was starting to define the new
area of personal relationships. The chapters are arranged to follow
the structure of the conference program, with major opening and
closing discussions covering the whole field and the rest of the
chapters grouped under the headings of Depiction and Taxonomy of
Relationships; Development and Growth of Relationships and Disorder
and Repair of Relationships. The result is by no means a
comprehensive treatment of the field, but the editors hoped that
the book highlighted significant issues in personal relationship
research as well as some excellent examples of the ways in which
issues and problems were being tackled at the time. They also hoped
that it would have an effect on the future development of the field
of personal relationships by indicating its value and potential.

Authored by renowned communication and relationship scholar Steve
Duck, Rethinking Relationships Through Rhetoric: Coordinating
Interpersonal Approaches invites readers to reconsider their
assumptions and understanding of relationships. The second edition
of the text features a fresh emphasis on rhetoric and its insights
into the ways in which individuals use discourse to promote vantage
points and opinions or to make arguments or representations that
are intended to influence others. The book posits that everyday
communication is largely argumentative, propositional, sermonic,
and intentionally influential in nature. Readers learn how even
mundane communication subtly pitches the views of the speaker
towards the listener and invites approval or objection. The text
reconsiders the implications of seeing acquaintance as an ongoing,
unfinished, and largely communicatively-based activity that is not
captured in laboratory snapshots, and so challenges readers to
better understand how relationships are formed through series of
everyday interactions and active inquiry by listeners rather than
"self-disclosure" by speakers. It also explores how cultural
influence, the assessment of behaviors, and moral judgements affect
everyday interactions and consequently, our relationships.
Providing readers with a deep examination of the ways in which
individuals practice their relationships and embody them in social
spaces, Rethinking Relationships Through Rhetoric is an ideal
textbook for advanced courses and graduate programs in
interpersonal communication and interpersonal relationships.
Long-distance relationships, nonmarital cohabitation, and personal
relationships over computer networks--all are examples of
relationships that are growing in number but that, to date, have
not been adequately researched. In Under-Studied Relationships, a
talented team of contributors rectifies existing scholarship's
tendency to ignore the diverse and emergent forms of relationships
that are increasingly evident in modern society. Contributors to
this impressive volume examine such largely overlooked issues as
long-lasting marriages, cultural minority relationships,
gay/lesbian relationships, friendships at work, nonmarital
cohabitation, long-distance relationships, and personal
relationships over computer networks. With the dawning of commuter
marriages, electronically mediated friendships, and "microwave
relationships," this volume cultivates an appreciation of the
pluralistic characteristics of relationship life and encourages the
expansion of research efforts in this field. Under-Studied
Relationships serves as an ideal resource for scholars and students
in social psychology, family studies, gender studies, interpersonal
communication, clinical and counseling psychology, and sociology.

Lyons, Darlene Meade, Paula Michal-Johnson, Suzanne M. Retzinger, James T. West, Jacqueline P. Wiseman, Katherine D. Wright & Paul H. Wright "Highly recommended." --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.

T. Wood Social Context and Relationships moves beyond exploring the
personal factors involved in relationships and reveals the impact
of outside forces--culture, society, values, economics, and
more--on the conduct of relationships. Confronting practical
realities, this compelling volume focuses on how such issues as
limited opportunity, restraints on freedom, compulsions of coercive
family norms, responsibilities, poverty, bigotry, gender, physical
separation, and limited geographic mobility influence personal
relationships. Because the contributors successfully argue for the
redirection of research--from the over-application of an individual
perspective to the inclusion of contextual features--students and
scholars in social psychology, communication studies, family
studies, sociology, and gender studies will discover much of value
in this fascinating volume.

with Linda K. Acitelli, Peter A. Andersen, Charles R. Berger, Marcia Dixson, Beverly Fehr, Julie Fitness, Garth J. O. Fletcher & James M. Honeycutt What special knowledge must a person have to participate in a relationship? What special language structures do persons typically use in entering or conducting relationships? Individuals in Relationships provides answers to these questions and offers an interdisciplinary look at the individual processes necessary to, and presumed in, relationships. It deals with the cognitive--the mental processes individuals bring to relationships, ranging from their thought patterns and attributional styles to the ways in which they recall relationship events and treat or manipulate shared knowledge. Further, it covers such topics as mutual understanding in relationships, cognitive schemata in personal relationships, and memory structures for the beginning and end of relationships. Using the theme of cognition as a starting point, this comprehensive volume lays the groundwork for further exploration of individuals in relationships, specifically, the broader social contextual factors of such relationships. A volume featuring the latest scholarship that examines cognitive relationship processes, Individuals in Relationships is particularly useful for a wide range of scholars and professionals interested in personal relationships, social psychology, communication studies, family studies, sociology, and gender studies. "The volume does a fine job of describing the mental representations and cognitive processes people bring to their close relationships. . . . Clearly, one of the strengths of this volume is its coherence. The emphasis on cognition is defined at the outset, and is successfully developed throughout. . . . Taken together, the chapters that compose this volume accomplish two important tasks. First, they provide an excellent review of the literature on social cognition in close relationships. This, by itself, is a good reason for those interested in personal relationships to have the book on their shelf. Second, the chapters supply a preliminary blueprint for future research on cognitive processes in relationships. By discussing controversial issues, describing methodological dilemmas, and positing interesting research questions and hypotheses, the authors point readers toward a number of gaps in the current literature. It is the author's ability to analyze past work and look toward future work that makes Individuals in Relationships a particularly stimulating volume." --Journal of Marriage and the Family
The Fourth Edition of this highly successful textbook provides a
unique and comprehensive introduction to the study and
understanding of human relationships. This thoroughly revised
edition combines the most recent research from social, personality,
and developmental psychology, communication studies, family
studies, and sociology with greater interdisciplinarity coverage
and emphasis on processes of everyday life. Fresh insights from
family studies, developmental psychology, occupational, and
organizational psychology also combine to bring new perspectives to
this thorough survey of the field. Thoroughly updated, with new
chapters on Relating Difficulty, "small media" technology and
relationships, and practical applications, the new edition is
responsive to the student demand for insight into their own lives.
