The fourth edition of this textbook provides a thoroughly updated and comprehensive introduction to contemporary and classic research and theories of family communication and family relationships.

In a language that is understandable to a broad range of readers, this book imparts what is known about family communication from the most current and highest quality research that is available from around the world. The authors bring the perspective of active researchers who strive to stay current on the latest research in the communication field as well as in allied disciplines. New to this edition:

  • Research on how couples foster intimacy and maintain their relationships.
  • Parenting styles that are associated with the best child outcomes.
  • How family interaction is related to mental and physical health.
  • Findings on recently studied issues such as the so-called gray divorce trend and effects of technology or the COVID-19 pandemic on family ties.
  • This is an ideal text for advanced undergraduate or graduate courses in family communication and family studies, while professionals who work with families and wish to be apprised of the latest research will also find this text useful.

    This edition provides instructors and students with a rich set of gratis online resources including a research methods appendix, PowerPoint lecture slides, chapter guides, a sample syllabus, and suggested additional readings and media resources. Please visit www.routledge.com/9781032228334.
