The Power to Communicate

Gender Differences as Barriers, Third Edition

 

Deborah Borisoff and Lisa Merrill

 

Since the publication of the first edition, The Power to Communicate has provided an important, essential perspective on male–female communication in both personal and professional settings. Refined in detail, it continues to help readers gain insights into the communicative behavior that is part of the female–male experience in contemporary culture by examining differences in communication styles and behavior. Both sexes will benefit from the authors’ provocative, skill-based strategies and techniques designed for breaking free from persistent traditional attitudes.
