About this title

Synopsis

This book offers a blend of theory and skills that readers can use to become "other-oriented"- mindfully aware of considering the thoughts, needs, and values of others. Fueled by the authors' conviction that "skills inform principles; principles inform skills," Interpersonal Communication: Relating to Others maintains a careful balance between theoretical and skills-oriented material. This book integrates an emphasis on diversity with theoretical and skills discussions. Examples are drawn from a variety of age and ethnic groups, and special boxes focus on gender and diversity issues. A chapter on intercultural communication supplements this integral material by relating it to the "other-oriented" approach. For anyone interested in improving their interpersonal communication, or understanding the topic better.

From the Back Cover

What is the role of emotions in interpersonal relationships? How have the Internet and other technological advancements transformed interpersonal communication? How does the development of self-esteem influence an individual's interaction with others? These are only a few of the many questions explored by the authors of this comprehensive guide to interpersonal relationships.

Fueled by the authors' conviction that "skills inform principles; principles inform skills," Interpersonal Communication: Relating to Others maintains a careful balance between theoretical and skills-oriented material. Because of the critical role of the "other person" in interpersonal interactions, this book encourages readers to be "other-oriented" -- to adapt, to relate to people from diverse backgrounds, to listen, and to empathize-- by offering specific development strategies that students can incorporate into their own interpersonal behavior. This book integrates a strong emphasis on diversity in the context of developing relationships and sensitivity to others through a chapter on diversity and integrated discussions of diversity issues. Communication specialists, and anyone interested in improving their interpersonal relationship skills.
