This is the first edited volume in the communication field to examine parent-child interaction. It creates a framework for future research in this growing area – family communication, and more specifically, parent-child communication – and also suggests new areas of communication research among parents and children – cultural, work-related, taboo topics, family sex discussions, conflict, and abuse. Chapter authors provide thorough coverage of theoretical approaches, new methods, and emerging contexts including lesbian/gay parent-child relationships. In so doing, they bring a communication perspective to enduring problems of discipline, adolescent conflict, and physical child abuse.
The text highlights various methodological approaches – both quantitative and qualitative – including conversation analysis, grounded theory, participant-observation, and phenomenological interviewing of children. It also introduces and surveys various theoretical approaches – general systems, developmental, cultural, and intergenerational transmission.
