Reviews

I recommend Dialectical Approaches to Studying Personal Relationships to scholars who are actively considering incorporating this approach into their work and to those who are already engaged with it. This book gives an intriguing and detailed snapshot of the state of the art in this area, and thereby offers many points of entry for those who wish to move it further. -Contemporary Psychology ...taps into the richness of the dialectic approach that makes it a complex and realistic assessment of some aspects of relational life. Its pages contain a variety of provocative ideas, often reframing many processes in ways that provide new insights. And, while it is not a how-to guide for methods, it addresses many questions researchers may have about using dialectical methods. -Journal of Social and Personal Relationships
