Communication in Our Lives

The SAGE Handbook of Gender and Communication

Steve Duck

Even in the closest of relationships, things can go wrong. This volume takes an honest look at difficulties, dilemmas and challenges in relationships and examines useful management and tolerance skills. Topics explored include: anger; having enemies; the family after divorce; interpersonal violence; codependency; HIV//AIDS; chronic illness; and bereavement.

Confronting Relationship Challenges

This collection of contributed articles addresses the intersection of gender communication and interpersonal relationships. The articles are organized by the type of relationship - personal (including friendship), romantic (including gay and lesbian relationships) and professional.

Gendered Relationships

A full understanding of relationship processes must include consideration of theoretically inconvenient and/or socially disfavored instances as well as those whose value and importance, traditionally, have been acknowledged in research. "Moving off the beaten track," Under-Studied Relationships begins to rectify existing scholarship's tendency to ignore the diverse and emergent forms of relationships that are increasingly evident in modern society. Editors Julia T. Wood and Steve Duck have gathered together outstanding researchers in the field to discuss such largely overlooked issues as long-lasting marriages, cultural-minority relationships, lesbian/gay relationships, simultaneous hierarchical and friendships at work, nonmarital cohabitation, long-distance relationships, and personal relationships over computer networks.
