Engaging Theories in Family Communication: Multiple Perspectives

To date, scholars from disciplines other than communication have dominated the study of family communication, and theory has never been positioned as the centerpiece of a book dealing with this subject matter. Engaging Theories in Family Communication covers uncharted territory in its field, as it is the first book on the market to deal exclusively with family communication theory. Its editors, Dawn O. Braithwaite and Leslie A. Baxter, and contributors (including Valerie Manusov, Tamara Golish, Fran Dickson, Julia Wood, Kory Floyd, Sandra Petronio, Beth LePoire, Kathleen Galvin, Mary Ann Fitzpatrick, and Anita Vangelisti) compose a veritable Who’s Who in the family communication field.
