{"product_id":"the-dark-side-of-family-loreen-n-olson-9780745647982","title":"The Dark Side of Family Communication","description":"This text provides for the first time in book form an exploration of the communicative aspects of the darker side of family life, ranging from, for example, severe acts of violence to more subtle forms of conflict. In addition to offering a working definition of the concept of the \"dark side\" in the family context, the authors propose the Darkness Model of Family Communication that integrates relevant literature in new and significant ways. Researchers, teachers and advanced students alike will benefit from the holistic and theoretical approach to the topic advanced through this volume. Readers are also encouraged to process the material by reviewing discussion questions and the case study of the Moore family at the end of each chapter. \u003cp\u003eChapter topics include: \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ean overview of the \"dark side\" of family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eindividual influences on the darkness of family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe dark side of dyadic family life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efamilial interaction structure and the dark side\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edark family communication in a context of darkness - socio-cultural influences on family life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econcluding reflections on the study of dark family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Side of Family Communication\u003c\/i\u003e offers an integrative understanding of the dark side of family communication and a theoretical mechanism for understanding related scholarship.
