Summary "To date, scholars from disciplines other than communication have dominated the study of family communication. Engaging Theories in Family Communication: Multiple Perspectives covers uncharted territory in its field, as it is the first book to deal exclusively with family communication theory. In this volume, editors Dawn O. Braithwaite and Leslie A. Baxter bring together a group of contributors who represent a Who's Who in the family communication field. These scholars examine both classic and cutting-edge theories to guide family communication research in the coming years." "Engaging Theories in Family Communication is designed for advanced undergraduate and graduate students studying family communication in courses such as Family Communication, Personal Relationships, Communication Theory, Applied Communication, and Advanced Interpersonal Communication. It can also be used in a variety of family studies, sociology, and psychology courses focusing on family communication."--Jacket.
