Families and close relationships are among the most important and valued human experiences, but they can also be the source of much conflict and pain. This course will examine the role that conflict plays in close relationships, with a focus on topics such as emotions, power, third-party interventions, breakdown of relationships, conflict styles, and conflict resolution.

  • Denise Whitehead was an amazing prof! It was heavy writing with a 1 page single spaced reflection at the end of each week and then a final 10 page essay. But no tests and the content and readings were super easy to follow. The information I learned in this class was transformative and have been applied to so many aspects of life.
