The Oxford Handbook of Coercive Relationship Dynamics

Edited by Thomas J. Dishion and James J. Snyder

Description

Coercive interactions and conflict are commonplace in close relationships and families, friendships, and teacher-student relationships in schools. Coercion and conflict can be used to grow stronger relationships, or they can lead to the deterioration of relationships, undermine efforts to socialize and teach youth, and lead to the development of mental health problems in children and parents. Coercion theory helps shed light on how these daily interaction dynamics explain the development of aggression, marital conflict, depression, and severe mental health problems in families and how they undermine school safety and effectiveness.

The Oxford Handbook of Coercive Relationship Dynamics features the most recent, innovative applications of coercion theory to understanding psychopathology, developmental theory, and intervention science. The volume provides a multidisciplinary perspective on coercive processes, origins, and social functions to anchor coercion theory from multiple perspectives and to lay a theoretical and empirical foundation for innovative expansion of the coercion model to new areas of research. The volume gives specific examples of how the basic coercive processes underlie the development of significant suffering in children and families, and chapters include clinically oriented discussions of research on the role of coercion in the causation and amplification of problem behavior and emotional distress. The internationally renowned authors of this volume highlight scientific advances in the study of coercive dynamics in families and close relationships, account for physiological and genetic correlates of coercive dynamics, and discuss the application of coercion theory to effective interventions that improve the quality and well-being of children, adolescents, and adults. This volume is an invaluable resource on behavioral science methodology, developmental theory, and intervention science.

Reviews and Awards

"Two of the most careful and well-respected scholars in the field have collaborated on an impressive volume that covers a broad swath of everything one could want to know about coercion, from evolution to intervention to public health. What might seem like a niche topic to the uninformed becomes one of the most important societal concerns in these pages. This volume is both a primer for neophytes and a must-read for seasoned scholars. Kudos." --Kenneth A. Dodge, PhD, William McDougall Professor of Public Policy, Professor of Psychology and Neuroscience, and Director, Center for Child and Family Policy, Duke University

"Coercion theory of interpersonal relationships has proven to be enormously important in generating research and in conveying the interplay of theory and research and how these improve our understanding of social phenomena in everyday life. The content and findings in The Oxford Handbook of Coercive Relationship Dynamics are fascinating. The book, as a gestalt, meticulously illustrates how 'good science' works and how theory, methods, and findings can translate to everyday life. We are in a world where coercive processes seem more relevant, or at least more conspicuous, than ever before. This book conveys how sound science can advance our understanding as well as generate methods to produce change. The book is a remarkable contribution to both science and society." --Alan E. Kazdin, PhD, ABPP, Sterling Professor of Psychology and Professor of Psychology and Professor of Child Psychiatry, Department of Psychology, Yale University

"This book does a good job of covering a wide range of topics related to coercion in children through adults. It presents both theoretical models and intervention strategies." -Doody's Health Science
