Presented at a level equally suited for beginning and advanced students of the field, Intimate Relationships covers material both classic and current. Chapters range from attraction to love, from attachment to jealousy, from conflict to relationship dissolution - all written in a warm, personal, and engaging voice. Each chapter is organized around the major issues and relevant theories, in addition to a critical evaluation about the research. When appropriate, the authors discuss and evaluate popular ideas about relationship processes in the context of the scientific research. This includes critical evaluations of evolutionary approaches to attraction, victim-based counts of abuse, and the separate-cultures view of the sexes. For anyone interested in relationship theory.
