Furthermore, the book's core model, introduced in Chapter 2, can be applied to the diverse range of relationships that students have experienced ― or will experience ― throughout their lives.

A classic for more than twenty years, Interpersonal Communication and Human Relationships retains all of its highly-praised features in the fourth edition, including the latest research from communication and social psychology; thorough coverage of dialogue, speech, and interaction patterns; interesting boxed inserts, cartoons, and diagnostic tests; and an effective writing style that engages students and holds their interest.
