Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In keeping with a broad conception of interpersonal conflict, this book is organized into two parts. The first focuses on conflict on different types of couple relationships -- homosexual, cross cultural, dating but violent, engaged, and married -- and group relationships -- student peers, parents and their young children, and adult children and their aging parents. The chapters not only review past research on conflict in some relationships, but also take a significant step forward in introducing a variety of other relationship types for future research on conflict. These chapters also offer evidence that conflict is experienced differently in different types of interpersonal relationships. The second part of this book describes basic underlying principles and programs for dealing with interpersonal conflicts. Chapters in this section discuss patterns of argument in everyday life, issues associated with competence in interpersonal conflict, and mediation as a form of intervention for resolution.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why is the potential for conflict so great for intimate partners? This volume integrates research from psychology, sociology, communications, and family studies to provide a comprehensive, practical synthesis of findings concerning conflict in close personal relationships. Combining discussion of both theory and practice, the volume illuminates why conflict occurs frequently between friends, romantic partners, distressed couples, and divorcing spouses, and also offers professionals a framework for understanding conflict as they try to help defuse strife. The book establishes conflict as a process that lies dormant in any mutually dependent relationship. Depending on the partners' strategies in conflict, the potential for disagreement can quickly become a real obstacle between them and can even threaten to end the relationship. To better determine the source of stress, three different research paradigms are presented to explain the conflict process and why it occurs, as well as to suggest what can be done to help partners manage conflict and preserve intimacy. The systems-interactionists' approach is presented first. This section discusses methods used to characterize destructive and constructive communication behavior patterns and strategies for dispute resolution. Next, the rules-interventionist approach examines ways in which a mediator can help divorcing couples end one relationship and begin another. Finally, the cognitive-exchange approach is considered. Methods used to determine the antecedent conditions which influence partners' reactions during conflict are presented and approaches for helping them modify destructive communication strategies are discussed. Throughout, terminology and measurements are made to correspond across disciplines so that the work is accessible to all. In addition to relating particular studies and research programs to their appropriate research approaches, the book shows how conflict is uniquely handled when distressed partners engage in problem solving, when disputing partners engage in mediation, and when same and opposite sex partners participate in developing relationships. Comparison and contrast emphasize the role played by conflict communication behavior, rules, and strategies found in developing intimate relationships, the destructive conflict characteristic of emotionally distressed couples, and the bargaining/negotiation characteristic of formal mediation. Drawing together the wide array of research on the topic in a user-friendly format, this book is an ideal resource for any investigator interested in distressed relationships. Offering practical methodology firmly founded in theory, it is invaluable reading for clinicians working with people in conflict. The book also serves as a text for advanced undergraduate and graduate students of conflict in interpersonal relationships, and as supplementary reading for a variety of courses where conflict is a focus of study.

Book excerpt: This classic volume provides a solid foundation for thinking about creative ways in which our society can work to prevent or minimize destructive couple conflict and enhance couples' abilities to constructively handle their differences.

Divided into four parts, this book: *addresses the societal and bio-evolutionary underpinnings of couple conflict; *presents the interpersonal roots of couple conflict and the consequences for individuals and couples; *discusses what effects couple conflict have on children and how individual differences in children moderate these effects; *outlines policies and programs that address couple conflict; and * concludes with an essay that pulls these four themes together and points to new directions for research and program efforts. This book serves as a supplement in graduate or advanced undergraduate courses on interpersonal relationships, couples and/or family and conflict, divorce, couples and/or family therapy taught in human development and family studies, clinical or counseling psychology, social work, sociology, and communications and it is also a helpful compendium for researchers and clinicians/counselors interested in couple conflict.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Marital Interaction: Experimental Investigations deals with experimental studies on marital interaction. Emphasis is on the importance of the role of description in the study of social interaction. Methods for the analysis of pattern and sequence, including cross-spectral time-series analysis, are also presented. Comprised of 15 chapters, this book begins with a historical review of several research traditions that have concerned themselves with families and marriages: the sociological tradition; the family therapy or systems tradition; the social learning tradition; and the developmental tradition. Research that points to the potential importance of the observation of consensual decision-making processes is also reviewed. A model of marital interaction called the Structural Model, which can be used to predict changes in marital satisfaction, is described. Subsequent chapters focus on the Couples Interaction Scoring System, an observational system for categorizing marital interaction; modern concepts of the assessment of reliability, particularly the stringent assessment that is necessary for sequential analysis; differences between well-functioning and poorly functioning marriages; couples' interactional styles in terms of communication skill deficits; and the concept of an individual's social competence. This monograph will be of interest to psychologists engaged in research on marriage, as well as sociologists and clinical researchers.

This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 27 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION: Conflict is an inevitable aspect of any relationship, and in the context of marriage and intimate partnerships, it can often feel overwhelming. However, it's essential to recognize that conflict, when handled constructively, can actually strengthen and deepen the bond between partners. "Navigating Conflict: A Guide to Managing Conflict in Marriage and Relationships" sets out to provide practical strategies and insights for couples to navigate conflict in a healthy and productive manner. In this book, we delve into the nature of conflict within relationships, emphasizing that it's a natural and inevitable part of being human. Drawing from psychology and relationship research, we explore the various triggers and dynamics that contribute to conflict, including differing expectations, communication styles, and unresolved issues from the past. By normalizing conflict, we aim to alleviate the stigma and fear often associated with it, empowering couples to approach disagreements with greater resilience and understanding. The Importance of Effectively Managing Conflict: Here, we highlight the significance of addressing conflict proactively for the overall health and longevity of a relationship. Unresolved conflicts can fester and lead to resentment, erosion of trust, and ultimately, relationship breakdown. Conversely, couples who learn to manage conflict constructively not only strengthen their connection but also cultivate greater intimacy, empathy, and mutual respect. We underscore that conflict resolution skills are essential for maintaining a thriving and fulfilling partnership, regardless of the stage or duration of the relationship. Overview of the Book Structure: This section provides a roadmap for the eBook, outlining the key themes, chapters, and exercises designed to support couples in navigating conflict more effectively. Each chapter will address specific aspects of conflict management, from understanding triggers and communication patterns to practicing active listening and negotiating compromises. Throughout the eBook, readers will find practical tips, case studies, and reflective prompts to apply the concepts to their own relationship dynamics. By offering a comprehensive yet accessible framework, "Navigating Conflict" aims to empower couples to transform conflict from a source of tension into an opportunity for growth and deeper connection

The Seven Conflicts is an excellent resource for equipping couples to learn to understand the true nature of their conflicts and deal with them in a way that will actually help their marital fulfillment. Couples will learn to identify their mutual dreams, put differences into perspective, understand each other's underlying motives, and work together as partners who are more in love than ever.

Book excerpt: As we pass the decade mark of the Global War on Terrorism, the hidden causalities, such as the long-term impact of multiple deployments on marriages, become more apparent. Military couples experiencing repeated combat-related deployments are at an increased risk for marital distress, especially relationships that exhibit negative interaction patterns. Marriage and relationship education programs have the potential to equip military couples with conflict management skills, such as positive reframing and open communication, to increase marital satisfaction. This content analysis examined three relevant marriage and relationship education resources -- PREP for Strong Bonds, ScreamFree Marriage, and Marriage LINKS -- presently utilized by military couples. Each marriage and relationship education program reviewed utilized similar themes found in the research literature. Results of the analysis indicate a combination of their skill sets, accompanied by a concentration on specific challenges unique to military marriages, would be more effective in improving marital satisfaction than the models as they currently stand.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on the influence and relevance of dispute resolution strategies employed by married partners on their physical health results. The major purpose of this work is to study the link between marital dispute resolution style and marriage. I have effectively handled so many marital difficulties amongst couples over the last 10 years as a marriage counselor. Studies reveal that greater levels of negative marital behaviors contribute to physical health, indicating more physical symptoms, chronic health issues, physical impairment, and lower subjective health. Conflict is a fundamental element of our relationships with others. According to Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode paradigm, individuals prefer to adopt five distinct conflict resolution styles: collaborating, avoiding, compromising, accommodating, and competing. Studies reveal that couples living in unsatisfactory marriages employ an avoidant style in handling conflict, whereas pleased partners utilize a collaborative style. In conclusion, conflict resolution approaches constitute a significant element in developing physical symptoms and health effects. Conflict resolution techniques and health consequences should be an essential investigating topic for both couple and family therapists. Straightforward but deep, these ideas give couples new techniques for resolving disagreements, building new common ground, and attaining higher levels of closeness. McDonald provides ideas and tools to help couples communicate more effectively to handle any problem, whether dealing with concerns relating to sex, money, religion, job, family, or anything else.

Book excerpt: Every couple has disagreements. All too often, though, when we engage in arguments, our goal is not to resolve the conflict at hand, but rather, to win the fight. Unfortunately, when you win an argument, your spouse is the loser, and nobody wants to be or live with a loser. When you resolve a conflict, your spouse becomes your friend. Good marriages are based on friendship, not on winning arguments. Now, Gary Chapman provides couples with a simple blueprint for achieving win-win solutions to everyday conflicts and disagreements. By learning how to listen empathetically, respecting each other's ideas and feelings, and understanding why particular issues are so important to their spouse, couples can find solutions that result not only in resolving the conflict at hand, but also leave both partners feeling loved, listened to, and appreciated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is uncommon for lawyers and psychologists and other mental health professionals to agree on most subjects regarding the human condition. Eureka! Recent research by the American Association of Lawyers concluded that the #1 cause of divorce in America is poor communication. Psychologists concur with that conclusion, with the qualification that breakups among married and non-married partners alike are the result of ineffective emotional communication. As the divorce rate continues to hover around 40 per cent and is significantly higher for second marriages, progress in this critical aspect of relating, has apparently come to an abrupt halt. Moreover, advances in technology are making this state of affairs even more problematic. Couples seek counseling because of the “usual suspects” including finances, infidelity, partner abuse, sexual inactivity or disparate child rearing practices. In most, if not all cases, the inability to negotiate these and other matters is attributable to clashing egos, incompatible communication styles and resistance to change. The return to harmony presents a new approach that entails the replacement of the ubiquitous win-lose mentality with a mutual learning mindset, and a strategy that incorporates effective conflict management skills, less ego involvement and an assortment of tools to counteract the obstacles to mature love.
