SMALL GROUP DECISION MAKING is informed by the late Aubrey Fisher's own theory of decision making and his perspective (pragmatist) on communication. These perspectives give the book a strong theoretical framework on which to build an understanding of group communication. The fourth edition of this book is a thoroughly updated version, with a review of the recent scholarly literature, organizational changes for clarity and increased coverage of important topics such as NGT, leadership, conflict and ethics.

Groups serve many purposes, but their most typical purpose is some form of decision making. This book emphasizes decision making and communication. It draws from all facets of group life -- including training groups, family groups, and therapy groups -- but its principal interest is the group that makes decisions in face-to-face interaction. Based on Aubrey Fisher's work with groups and their communication processes, this book covers: The framework of group process, the functional and structural nature of communicative process, observing and analyzing small groups communication, leadership and power, the leader-less group, and social conflict and deviance.

The second edition of this prestigious title, INTERPERSONAL COMMUNICATION, by one of the beloved scholars in the field, the late B. Aubrey Fisher, has been revised and rewritten by one of Fisher's doctoral students, Kathy Adams. Now aimed at second-level interpersonal communication courses, the revision retains Fisher's pragmatics perspective and personal examples and anecdotes. At the same time, Adams has extensively revised the book. Specifically, the pragmatics perspective has been developed more fully and consistently throughout. Overall, the book has been reorganized and streamlined from 15 chapters to 11 - to eliminate redundancies. Part III has been updated to reflect the most recent research and literature on relationships, particularly maintenance, and communication competence.
