Críticas:

“I have been collecting feedback from students in my Interpersonal Communication classes, and specifically have asked about their impressions of the text, Close Encounters: Communication in Relationships. They love it. I have never had such overwhelming, positive reactions to any textbook. Here's a sample response: ‘I feel like I have been put in this class to really learn and apply something to my life because it seems like the authors are talking directly to me and relating things to my life right at this very moment. I love this class and this book. I actually do all the readings and enjoy them. I may just have to keep this book.’" (Kara Laskowski Reviewer 2013-01-17)

“This is the one text that I have selected for which I have not received student complaints. I think the students find it interesting and easy to read.” (Todd Lee Goen 2013-01-17)

“One of my main goals is to get my students to move beyond the over-simplified textbooks and actually dig into the research. This book provides a nice transition.” (Rick Murphy 2013-01-17)

“This book provides a good coverage of the major topics in the field and effectively synthesizes major research findings in each area. I appreciate the theoretical nature of the book. Students who enter the course thinking they know everything about Interpersonal Communication quickly figure out that the course will be both challenging and interesting when they begin to read the book.” (Melanie Laliker 2013-01-17)

“I like the text....good array of major topics in the discipline.” (Lisa (Farinelli) Allen 2013-01-17)

“The book is a nice read, easy to digest but true to the literature.” (Graham Bodie 2013-01-17)

Reseña del editor:

Close Encounters: Communication in Relationships, Fourth Edition

 

takes a relational approach to the study of interpersonal communication by focusing on issues that are central to describing and understanding close relationships.

 

Although the primary focus is on communication research, this book emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of the study of personal relationships by including research from various disciplines such as social psychology and family studies. Organized using a developmental approach, the authors first look at initial interaction and relational escalation, then move on to issues related to maintaining intimate relationships, and finally focus on challenges relational partners face, including relationship endings.
