"Much has been written on the 'dark side' ofcommunication. This is the first book actually to define what darkcommunication is, explain how it forms, identify what effect ithas, recommend how to 'brighten it,' and tie all thistogether in a Darkness Model of Family Communication."
Dudley Cahn, SUNY at New Paltz
