Interpersonal Communication: Relating to Others introduces the key principles of interpersonal communication alongside practical suggestions on how to become a better communicator. Authors Steven Beebe, Susan Beebe and Mark Redmond emphasize the importance of becoming other-oriented: a mindful process of considering the thoughts, needs, feelings and values of others, rather than focusing exclusively on oneself.

The 10th Edition has been updated with new research throughout. Fresh topics include self-disclosure online, using eye contact to establish credibility, long-distance relationships and more. New Communication Skills for Difficult Conversations boxes in each chapter focus on practical strategies for relating to others when discussing potentially contentious issues.
