Beyond I-Statements in Family Communication.

Burr, Wesley R.

Family Relations, v39 n3 p266-73 Jul 1990

Introduces a new concept, "We-statements," that is similar but slightly different from the "I-statement" concept widely used in family life education. Discusses basic assumptions made with these two concepts, and theorizes about the effects they have in family systems. Suggests several guidelines for using these concepts. (Author/PVV)
