Effective Communication cover

This practice-oriented guide gives a concise overview of the theoretical and practical complexities of communication and language.

Communication is the basis of so much of what happens in the workplace and indeed in our private lives. Without effective communication our lives are so much the poorer and with so many more problems. This book, now in an updated third edition, is therefore an important and valuable resource for anyone where success in their work depends on the quality of their interactions, whether face to face, in writing or electronically. Divided into two parts, the book focuses first on theoretical insights to provide a firm basis of understanding and then on practice issues. Written in Neil Thompson’s characteristically clear and accessible style, this important book provides an essential foundation for making sure that we are communicating with one another as effectively as possible.

These resources are designed to support teaching and learning when using this textbook and are available at no extra cost.

This textbook ... explores the many theories developed to account for communication and language, and, using traditional resources or expressions along with contemporary ones, moves from the review of theories to the implications of all this on the contemporary scene. * Rev. Dr. Richard B. Gilbert, BCC. The World Pastoral Care Center, Resources Hotline (of the first edition) *
