Maguire's Stress and Coping in Families is currently the only available textbook in the family communication literature to focus exclusively on the importance of managing the wide range of stressors experienced in contemporary family life. The work provides a solid foundation to help students understand the nature of stress and the significance of communication in positive coping. Thomas J. Socha, Old Dominion University Stress and Coping in Families weaves together a comprehensive and accessible synthesis of the processes by which families and family members experience and cope with stress. This well-balanced resource supplements research across disciplines with the bright and dark sides of communicative stress and coping, innovates a heuristic communication model, and breathes life into concepts through well-conceived examples and authentic case studies. Jody Kellas, University of Nebraska-Lincoln In this important new volume, Katheryn Maguire illustrates the complex role that family interaction plays in creating, maintaining, and relieving stress. Maguire synthesizes research from diverse fields including communication, psychology, and family sociology, and offers a unique model of communication-based coping processes. She provides fascinating analyses of stress in three distinct family contexts that will bring both laughter and tears to her readers. Researchers, teachers, and practitioners interested in stress and family interaction should read this book. Anita L. Vangelisti, University of Texas at Austin
