The recurring theme - that communication is a complex interplay of factors, a matrix by which the psychologist can know society - leads on to theoretical discussions of cybernetics: how humans, and the regulated systems and structures they have created, may be understood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhere later studies of communication focus solely on messages and their behavioral ramifications, Ruesch and Bateson's 1951 study delved farther; into the very edifices of modern society. Though their methodology fell out of favor in communicology, this text stands as a proponent of concepts that remain both interesting and relevant. Philosophical concepts of cause-and-effect, of feedback between elements of a communicative system, are posited as crucial to understanding intricacies of modern life. For readers seeking a fresh, embracing introduction to the study of communication, this work brings both essential knowledge and a fascinating history of the discipline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-11280186\"\u003eJurgen Ruesch\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-400616\"\u003eGregory Bateson\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pantianos Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/1951\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.48d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781789872743\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178987274X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC Categories:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-LAN\"\u003eLanguage Arts \u0026amp; Disciplines\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-LAN004000\"\u003eCommunication Studies\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=CAT-PSY\"\u003ePsychology\u003c\/a\u003e | \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/njcorrectionsbookstore.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=BISAC-PSY017000\"\u003eInterpersonal Relations\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Pantianos Classics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43893447819403,"sku":"9781789872743","price":18.63,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0626\/5100\/7115\/files\/img_e2170c58-39fc-4b30-b1d5-2f0b5daf922d.jpg?v=1756132943","url":"https:\/\/cacorrectionsbookstore.com\/products\/communication-the-social-matrix-of-psychiatry-human-psychology-behavior-and-culture-in-the-modern-society-9781789872743","provider":"CA Corrections Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
