COMMUNICATION FOR FAMILIES IN CRISIS KARTONIERT...

In this volume  the first book-length work to address effective family communication during
times of crisis  leading researchers provide in-depth discussions of communication theory

examined: relational crises (infidelity  infertility  identity shifts  parental deployment 
death of a child)  health crises (mothers with breast cancer  children with disabilities 
pediatric cancer  geriatric health crises)  and economic crises (job loss  divorce 
homelessness  post-hurricane survival). Each chapter ends with practical advice for families on
how to communicate effectively during crisis. Given its presentation of diverse theories
