Synopsis

Knapp and Miller present the first comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in interpersonal communication research. The Handbook of Interpersonal Communication is a definitive reference source, authored by an outstanding international group of communication researchers. While the contributors take diverse conceptual, theoretical, and epistemological approaches to the study of human communication, several common themes run throughout the book: a focus on behaviour, a focus on time, a focus on social cognition, a concern with control, and a concern with individual differences.

Review

"I would recommend the text to a range of colleagues and students. In particular though, I liked it because I think it is a good accessible starting place for those people who think that exploring the micro level of organization activity such as communication is hugely complex, has no boundaries and is best left to the psychologists."
