{"product_id":"family-violence-from-a-communication-perspective","title":"Family Violence from a Communication Perspective","description":"Although an anecdotal association between communication and  family  violence was noted early in the family violence literature, a  communication approach to family violence has been  underrepresented  in the literature. This book is a welcome contribution to the  literature because it demonstrates that the connection between  communication and family violence is much more complex than a  skills  deficit of one or more members of a violent relationship.  --Gail Whitchurch, Department of Communication Studies,  Indiana University  Adding an innovative perspective to traditional psychological  and  sociological approaches, Family Violence from a Communication  Perspective lays out a new theoretical framework for  understanding  and resolving abusive family interactions. This exceptional  volume  features contributions from a variety of disciplines that  examine the  interactional processes at the core of domestic abuse,  aggression,  and violence. The contributors explore the development of  violence in  the family, beginning with courtship violence, proceeding  through  marital violence, and perpetuated through parent-child violence.  Providing keen insight, the chapters examine the commonalities  and  differences inherent in emotional, psychological, verbal, and  sexual  abuse and how they all stem from basic communication problems.  An essential resource for students and scholars in  communication,  family studies, relationship studies, psychology, sociology, and  women′s studies, Family Violence from a Communication  Perspective also offers a refreshing viewpoint for professionals  in  the human services.","brand":"SAGE Publications Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54246862782808,"sku":"9780803959835","price":105.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780803959835.jpg?v=1777787141","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/family-violence-from-a-communication-perspective","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
