They contend that social support is inextricably linked to communication behaviour and that the logical and empirical link between the two is long overdue. @3They present a theoretical overview (including strategies for measuring social support), examine support in specific settings and consider the dilemmas of supportive communication. They also discuss future directions for research and practice. |
