Understanding Close Relationships builds a foundation using theory and the most recent research in the field but constructs the text around stories that serve as case examples. The stories illustrate the research and theory, making them come alive for the reader.

Romantic Love (SAGE Series on Close Relationships)

Is love a uniquely human endeavour? Is romantic love universally felt - or is it a cultural phenomenon? Love is a topic of concern to many, yet it is rarely understood. To aid the understanding of this complex subject, this volume provides a focused overview of love - primarily romantic love.  The authors move from an initial consideration of love as a part of close relationships to provide a historical context for love; they then present the most recent empirical work on the topic and point the way towards exciting and innovative research and applications. Although written primarily from a social-psychological perspective, it draws material from other disciplines such as sociobiology and family studies.

Parenting & Relationships

The relationship between therapist and client has traditionally been viewed as a unique arrangement, somehow removed from its similarities to other personal relationships. Yet, whether therapists reveal themselves fully in therapy, are more reserved in sharing personal aspects, or present themselves neutrally as a "mirror" to clients, an important relationship is being forged. While a growing body of literature on personal relationships has emerged from the fields of social psychology, communications, and family studies, it has rarely been applied to psychotherapy. This volume brings together authors from both fields to explore that interface.
