"The breadth of theories presented and collected in this text is an impressive accomplishment. The editors have done a great service to the field with this book." ―Lynn H. Turner, Marquette University
"The chapters are very informative, useful, and accessible. There is a huge need to better ground family communication in theory, and this text will provide an important start for students and researchers." ―Douglas Kelley, Arizona State University
To date, scholars from disciplines other than communication have dominated the study of family communication. Engaging Theories in Family Communication: Multiple Perspectives covers uncharted territory in its field, as it is the first book on the market to deal exclusively with family communication theory. In this volume, editors Dawn O. Braithwaite and Leslie A. Baxter bring together a group of contributors who represent a Who′s Who in the family communication field. These scholars examine both classic and cutting-edge theories to guide family communication research in the coming years.
