The most successful new interpersonal communication textbook in over a decade, Reflect & Relate broke new ground with its emphasis on critical self-reflection, practical skills, and relationships in context. Reflect & Relate fosters self-awareness by having students examine their own experiences, practice ongoing critical self-reflection, and apply the lessons in the text to their own communication. In the second edition, distinguished teacher and scholar Steven McCornack continues to arm students with the best research in the hottest areas, from the dark side of interpersonal relationships and gender and culture issues to the prevalence of technology in our daily communication.
