Now in its eleventh edition, Family Communication: Cohesion and Change continues to provide students with a foundational, accessible, and inclusive overview of the family communication field.

The eleventh edition represents the plurality of today’s families, helping students see themselves and think through how the up-to-date research and theory apply to their lives. It features a more concise narrative with streamlined key concepts that are more straightforward and engaging for students. Now presented in three sections, Communication and Family Lenses, Communication and Family Cohesion, and Communication and Family Adaptability, this edition’s new features include learning objectives for each chapter, Family Portrait interviews with top scholars, a glossary of key definitions, and expanded Family Reflections discussion questions interspersed in the text.

This book is ideal for undergraduate courses in family communication, allied subjects in communication studies, family studies, nursing, and social work programs.

Reviews for Family Communication: Cohesion and Change

“Like its predecessors, this edition of Family Communication: Cohesion and Change is outstanding. It presents current and classic research in a way that is both thought-provoking and accessible. Students will be drawn-in by the vivid examples and probing questions offered by the authors; instructors will appreciate the authors’ brilliant translation of complex theories and concepts for their students.” - Anita L. Vangelisti, University of Texas at Austin, USA “This edition continues a long-standing tradition of providing readers with a comprehensive yet contemporary view of family communication theory and research. Retaining its pedagogical focus, this text invites students to actively participate in their learning through the inclusion of case studies, thought-provoking data, expanded discussion questions, and interviews with family communication scholars. This text is a must-have for family communication instructors.” - Scott A. Myers, West Virginia University, USA
