Couples in Conflict

"Scholars and practitioners alike agree that assessing how couples deal with conflict is the gold standard for evaluating couple well-being, and Couples in Conflict is the gold standard for research on the topic of conflict. The volume approaches its subject matter from diverse perspectives, all of which are foundational to a deep understanding of what conflict means for couples and families, and how interventions might be framed most effectively.…The chapters are still informative, highly relevant, and compelling." – Harry Reis, University of Rochester, USA

"Couples in Conflict is proof positive that great things happen when outstanding scholars come together. ...The editors assembled a remarkable cast of authors to cover a broad range of topics. Although published more than a decade ago, Booth and colleagues’ text is still a useful and relevant resource for researchers, teachers, and practitioners alike. Given the tremendous changes in contemporary coupling, a classic version of this text will help reignite the discussion of the ups and downs of relational conflict." – Brian Ogolsky, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, USA

"I have regularly used … Couples in Conflict as a reference book. Despite being originally published in 2001, this edited volume is still relevant, timely, and thought-provoking. The book’s contributors are leaders in the field and still represent a veritable "Who’s Who?" of researchers in the broad area of couple conflict and aggression."– Mark A. Fine, University of North Carolina at Greensboro, USA
