Reviews for Family Communication: Cohesion and Change

This is the best family communication book on the market today helping students to understand the role of communication in family life during the twenty-first century. The book continues to provide cutting-edge research and theory in the field of family communication, making concepts understandable and relevant to students by providing case studies and real-life first-person examples. I applaud the authors for another outstanding edition of this fundamental and influential text. Michelle Miller-Day, Chapman University, USA What began as a trailblazing family communication text remains one to this day. Professors Galvin, Braithwaite, Schrodt, and Bylund have crafted a student-focused program that honors the history of family communication while pushing its boundaries. Anyone wanting to understand family dynamics better will find this text to be of tremendous value. Kory Floyd, University of Arizona, USA
