Handbook of Personal Relationships: Theory, Research and Interventions - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Here is the first, comprehensive volume in a field that has grown exponentially in the last ten years. The handbook is organized across disciplines to reflect the nature of the field, and has a broad range of appeal to a variety of teachers and researchers. Each section reflects and describes the inputs of different disciplines: Communication; Community and Clinical Psychology; Developmental and Life-Cycle; Psychology; Social Psychology and Sociology; Conceptualizations and Methods - including chapters from the tradition of research into issues of personality theory. The handbook thus reflects the view that the field of research in personal relationships is neither created nor sustained by the efforts of one section of the community of scholars alone, but instead feeds and grows from the interaction of many different schools of thought, all of which need to be informed about the work of the others. The chapters are contributed by experts in the field and individual sections are edited by leading authorities. Overall, the handbook is forward looking and contains the growth seeds for the future of the discipline.
