Author: Anita L. Vangelisti
Publisher: Cambridge University Press

Book Description
Understanding interpersonal relationships requires understanding actors, behaviors, and contexts.

Chapters address cultural universals as well as cross-cultural differences in relationship behaviors and outcomes. The emergence of relational forms, such as the interaction between people and computers, is also explored. Stability and Change in Relationships will be of interest to a broad range of fields, including psychology, sociology, communications, gerontology, and counselling.

Changing Relationships with Ourselves and Others
Author: Adelphia
Publisher: BalboaPress
ISBN: 1452503885
Category : Family & Relationships
Languages : en
Pages : 209
Book Description
Changing Relationships with Ourselves and Others is the follow-up to author Adelphias first book, My Journey Within, in which she shared her own personal story of self-growth and development. Here, she takes a deeper look into relationships and how they affect both self and others. She explores a compilation of both examples of personal and individual growth and the effects of current and past influences for individuals. She hopes to offer expansion of your mind through a reminder that what is seen on the surface is not necessarily the bigger picture of your life. Rather, it is merely that which you choose to show to others, not your true inner workings. Its easy to get caught up in your own life, and that can make it difficult to see the bigger picture, hindering you from working toward your bigger goals. Changing Relationships with Ourselves and Others also investigates the contracts that are signed by individuals before coming onto the earthly plain. These contracts are both for the individual and collective groups, indicating what their learning curves will be. Nothing you do in life is truly wrong; these decisions are simply required so you can experience certain events in your life, creating opportunities for growth.

Changing Relationships: Strategies for Therapists and Coaches
Author: Cloé Madanes
Publisher: The Erickson Foundation
ISBN: 1934442593
Category : Psychology
Languages : en
Pages : 129
Book Description
Caution: Don’t be deceived, this little book packs a big punch! Changing Relationships is a deep repository of practical insight that will inspire dozens of aha! moments. But Madanes’ observations are not simply impressive; she is also a wise and generous mentor, providing access to powerful strategies that can be put to immediate use by therapists and coaches. Whether clients are trying to break free of relationship stalemates, turn down the volatility in communication, revitalize connection, create safe space for new possibility, or interrupt a seemingly intractable pattern, Changing Relationships will serve as an essential reference and a golden compass for the professionals from whom they seek guidance. Madanes isn’t much interested in “fixing” people, rather, her brilliance is in helping people to discover — or to recover — the pathways that will lead them to becoming what they want to be, both as individuals and in relationship. From Tony Robbins: “One day a friend handed me a book by a woman named Cloe Madanes and baboom! I found myself reading it voraciously, underlining sentences on almost every page. Here was an approach that … honored the power of individual commitment and responsibility, and was also an action manual on navigating the paradoxes of interpersonal dynamics.”
