Summary
"This text provides for the first time in book form an exploration of the communicative aspects of the darker side of family life, ranging from, for example, severe acts of violence to more subtle forms of conflict. In addition to offering a working definition of the concept of the 'dark side' in the family context, the authors propose the Darkness Model of Family Communication that integrates relevant literature in new and significant ways."--Page 4 of cover.
