In addition to offering a working definition of the concept of the \"dark  side\" in the family context, the authors propose the Darkness Model of  Family Communication that integrates relevant literature in new and  significant ways. Researchers, teachers and advanced students alike will  benefit from the holistic and theoretical approach to the topic  advanced through this volume. Readers are also encouraged to process the  material by reviewing discussion questions and the case study of the  Moore family at the end of each chapter. \u003cp\u003eChapter topics include:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003ean overview of the \"dark side\" of family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eindividual influences on the darkness of family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ethe dark side of dyadic family life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003efamilial interaction structure and the dark side\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003edark family communication in a context of darkness - socio-cultural influences on family life\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003econcluding reflections on the study of dark family communication\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Dark Side of Family Communication\u003c\/i\u003e offers an integrative  understanding of the dark side of family communication and a theoretical  mechanism for understanding related scholarship.
