Written by Leslie A. Baxter, one of the theory′s originators, this groundbreaking book presents the next iteration of the theory, along with a methodological primer for contrapuntal analysis that includes guiding readers through a sample analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDeveloping a rich palette of dialogic concepts useful in the study of interpersonal communication, the book′s central argument is that meaning making emerges from the clash of competing systems of meaning, or discourses. Relationship communication is embedded in culture, history, difference, and conceptions of the ideal. In addition, the book gives us a method by which to study communication dialogically--contrapuntal analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKey Features\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eCenters communication at the heart of relationships\u003c\/b\u003e with an interdisciplinary focus on communication from fields such as psychology, social work, and sociology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers \u003cb\u003ean up-to-date distillation of two decades of relevant research\u003c\/b\u003e to organize major findings and issues\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMoves scholars and students \u003cb\u003ebeyond simplistic uses of rela\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003etional dialectics\u003c\/b\u003e or using the dialectical pairs in overly-simplistic \"cookie cutter\" ways\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides scholars and students with \u003cb\u003eguidance in using RDT\u003c\/b\u003e to guide their own research\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIntended Audience\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVoicing Relationships \u003c\/b\u003eis ideal for use in a wide range of courses, such as Interpersonal Communication; Family Studies; Couples, Marriage, and Family; and Counseling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeslie A.
