Fully updated with the latest research throughout, the second edition offers new chapters on qualitative and quantitative research methods for conflict, intimate partner violence, family dynamics, mental health, negotiation, workplace bullying, healthcare conflict, identity and intercultural conflict, the middle way approach, conflict in the global workplace, the culture-based situational conflict model, community ethics and engagement, spirituality and conflict, and trust in academic-community partnerships.

Key features

NEW TO THIS EDITION

  • New chapters expand the book's coverage in a number of significant areas, including research methods, interpersonal communication, organizational communication, and intercultural/international communication.

KEY FEATURES

  • Conflict examined in multiple contexts: Rather than focusing on a single context, the handbook's four parts focus on contexts in which conflict occurs—conflict in relationships and families, conflict at work, conflict in communities, and conflict in international/intercultural situations—and includes insightful coverage of how each context impacts the others.
  • Skillful integration of research and practice: The art and science of conflict are blended together by integrating research and practice so that practitioners and scholars know both the theoretical explanations of conflict, as well as the skills needed to address conflict.
  • Thorough literature review: This book assembles the knowledge base of the field of conflict communication in one volume, providing readers with access to a vast amount of research.
  • A focus on cultural diversity: Since culture shapes the way we view and communicate about conflict, cultural diversity is emphasized throughout.
