Bøker av Richard L. Conville

Despite a growing emphasis on relationship studies in interpersonal communication, serious attention to the conceptual meaning of relationship has been limited. The purpose of this volume is to explore the meaning and use of relationship in interpersonal communication studies. The contributors to this volume, representatives of related, but differing perspectives, outline definitional boundaries and conceptual implications of the term stemming from their particular ontological and epistemological approaches. This volume provides an engaging and provocative examination of relationship by seasoned writers who are committed to seeing the field with new eyes. As such, the book will be invaluable to scholars and researchers in the field.

Conville has assembled a collection of essays that share a consideration of structure as it manifests itself in human communication.

In this practical and innovative study, Richard Conville proposes a way to think about the process of communication in personal relationships.
