Sommario/riassunto

A detailed review of current research and ideas concerning both communication processes and family functioning is provided in this valuable contribution to the literature. Divided into three parts the book focuses on: communication of family members over time; the role of interaction in various family relationships; and the association between family structure and communication. Readers are provided with a set of



questions that they can use to examine their own and other's research and the chapters also illustrate a range of methodological and//or theoretical positions.
