Reviews

The daunting task of usefully illuminating empirically supported strategies for developing new social skills is met at multiple levels by Greene and Burleson's Handbook of Communication and Social Interaction Skills....Beyond accomplishing a work that is both scholarly and practical, one major value of Greene and Burleson's handbook is the consistent thoughtfulness with which these impressive contributors engaged in forward skills-thinking, suggesting the stage for future scholarship and pedagogy in social skills research....Readers of this handbook will find that their abilities to understand, teach, and personally enact new relational communication skills will be provoked, enriched, and challenged. -Communication Research Trends Providing a detailed review and synthesis of work on communication skills and skill enhancement, this handbook serves as a comprehensive and contemporary survey of theory and research on social interaction skills. -APADE
