Synopsis

There are few edited volumes on interpersonal communication that have the breadth of focus of Interpersonal Processes. Divided into three broad sections, this interdisciplinary work covers functions of interpersonal communication, interaction phenomena and relationships.

Interpersonal Processes updates the classic Explorations in Interpersonal Communication (SAGE 1976). Original contributors have revised their chapters and, together with other scholars, provide new insights and recognise the emergence of new research areas.
