"The research focus and comprehensive nature of the content are strengths," Brooks Aylor, La Salle University "This book is very readable. It is well adapted to the style and language of today's college student population," Bryan Barrows, North Harris College "Written very well with student-appropriate illustrations," Thomas Feeley, SUNY Buffalo "The authors have created a text that provides a comprehensive discussion of interpersonal theories in a variety of contexts. It does an excellent job of presenting the major theories of interpersonal communication in an interesting and relevant fashion. Additionally the authors have structured the chapters with an understanding of pedagogy --- chapters are structured to facilitate learning and application of the material by students. The writing style is clear, the chapters are well organized, and students are encouraged to apply the theories and concepts to their lives. While theory has a central place in each chapter, this is not just a text of interpersonal theories. Each chapter is fleshed out with related concepts and subject matter so that students can grasp not only the theory, but the larger interpersonal issues presented in each chapter," Ann Bainbridge Frymier, Miami University
