Interpersonal conflict

This book offers outstanding and comprehensive coverage of the field of interpersonal conflict. It is well researched, yet offers real life examples to apply the material to our own lives. I have read many books on the topic of interpersonal conflict, as I consult and conduct workshops on the topic, and this book is among the best I have found.

great book, great condition, just what i wanted

book came just as the description said. It was in great condition and the price was right. Thanks.

Solid Research-Based Strategies

My students like this book, and so do I. I particularly like the concrete planning strategies, which can be helpful to anyone struggling to manage conflict. This book is one that I use to teach, but it changes my own behaviors along the way.

Excellent Help

This book is excellent. Written by people of two perspectives, it is a great source of guidance, insight, and information. I found the assignments provocative, stimulating, and at times, confrontive. I've done a considerable amount of this kind of work and learned many new things. One of my better book purchases of the year!

Use This Instead of the 7th Edition!!

If you are taking a class that calls for the 7th Edition, you can use the 6th edition of this book. Not much changed except that a few chapters were switched around. I used the 6th Edition in a class that used the 7th Edition and got an A. : ) I'm sure everyone can think of a lot better ways to spend $90+! Good luck!
