The Handbook of Communication Skills Book

The subjects of social skills and communication skills are ones that attract immense interest, both from academic researchers interested in them for their own sake, and from practitioners who either require such skills in their professional work or need to teach them to those with limited skills. This completely revised and updated second edition includes a new section on Interviewing Contexts, including chapters on selection, helping, appraisal and survey interviewing, and has a new chapter on Relational Communication.
