Designed for courses in Interpersonal Communication.

Interpersonal Communication: Relating to Others maintains a careful balance between theoretical and skills-oriented material. Because of the critical role of the "other person" in interpersonal interactions, this text encourages students to be "other-oriented" to adapt, to relate to people from diverse backgrounds, to listen, and to empathize by offering specific development strategies that students can incorporate into their own interpersonal behaviour.
