Description

Reflect & Relate is a leading text in the study of interpersonal communication designed to help readers not only understand how we connect but also reflect on how those connections shape who we are.

Grounded in contemporary research, this accessible and engaging guide blends theory, case studies, and practical exercises to help readers develop communication skills for real-world relationships, whether personal, professional, or digital.

Authors Kelly Morrison and Steven McCornack invite readers to go beyond technique, exploring the emotional, ethical, and relational dimensions of communication. The text encourages you to reflect on your own experiences, relate them to key concepts, and apply those insights to build empathy, authenticity, and confidence in every interaction.

Combining clarity, depth, and real-life relevance, this edition continues to set the standard for courses and learners who want to communicate with awareness and intention.
