Psychology of Love (FIRST EDITION) by Ph D Lisa Diamond

This volume aims to provide undergraduate students with an opportunity to read contemporary, cutting-edge research on the psychology of love and relationships. The articles selected for this anthology are written by some of the most active researchers in the field and address a broad cross-section of topics. These articles were specifically chosen to complement the basic material available in most current textbooks on love and relationships, and to provide a more in-depth look at some of the hottest areas of current research, including the neurobiology of bonding, long-term predictors of marital satisfaction and stability, same-sex relationships, intimate violence, and the health implications of love.

The mix of empirical articles and chapters make the book lively and interesting, providing a balance between breadth and depth, and allowing even non-psychology students to get a close-up perspective on this exciting topic. The editor, Dr. Lisa M. Diamond, integrates a broad cross-section of readings that reflect the diverse methodological and theoretical approaches taken to this topic. The result is an accessible, insightful collection of readings that can be used as a standalone teaching text or supplement the range of textbooks current available on this topic.
