Review Quotes: "This book has the potential to do in psychology what the classic edited works in CA (e.g. Atkinson and Heritage, 1984; Drew and Heritage 1992) have done in sociology. However, it has also initiated a serious cross-fertilization of ideas between interaction researchers in the disciplines of (primarily) sociology and psychology, and will bring concerns and ideas developed in DP to new audiences."
