Maguire synthesizes research from diverse fields including communication, psychology, and family sociology, and offers a unique model of communication-based coping processes. She provides fascinating analyses of stress in three distinct family contexts that will bring both laughter and tears to her readers. Researchers, teachers, and practitioners interested in stress and family interaction should read this book.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnita L.

This book brings together research from a wide variety  of disciplines to examine family interaction in the context of stressful  situations. Instead of claiming that one type of interaction is better  than other, seemingly unproductive forms of communication, the approach  taken by the author recognizes that messages can have varying, sometimes  unexpected consequences when a family is distressed. In addition to  introducing students, scholars, and practitioners to the stress and  coping literatures from both the individual and family perspectives, the  book offers an in-depth examination of how relational communication  scholars have contributed to this important and rich body of research.  The book also explores family stress and coping within three specific  contexts (military family separation, breast cancer, the transition to  parenthood) and provides readers with the opportunity to apply their  knowledge through case studies and examples from families who have lived  through these difficult situations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eDetailed Table of Contents\u003cbr\u003eList of Figures and Tables\u003cbr\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements\u003cbr\u003ePART I FAMILY STRESS THEORY AND RESEARCH\u003cbr\u003eChapter 1 Stress in the Mind and Body\u003cbr\u003eChapter 2 Stress and the Family\u003cbr\u003eChapter 3 Coping with Family Stress\u003cbr\u003eChapter 4 Communication within the Stress and Coping Processes\u003cbr\u003ePART II FAMILY STRESS AND COPING IN CONTEXT\u003cbr\u003eChapter 5 Stress and Coping during a Wartime Deployment\u003cbr\u003eChapter 6 Stress and Coping during Catastrophic Illness\u003cbr\u003eChapter 7 Stress and Coping during the Transition to Parenthood\u003cbr\u003eReferences\u003cbr\u003eIndex\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Electronics \u0026amp; communications engineering\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Electronics%20\u0026amp;%20communications%20engineering%20%5BTJ%5D%22\"\u003eTJ\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407321264408,"sku":"9780745650746","price":42.35,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745650746.jpg?v=1784161519","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/stress-and-coping-in-families-hardback-9780745650746","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
