Produktbeschreibung

Contemporary Issues in Close Relationships provides readers with an interdisciplinary framework for exploring several types of close, intimate relationships, including friendships, family dynamics, and romantic partnerships. The content emphasizes theoretical foundations and research pertinent to relational dynamics across the disciplines of psychology, human development, sociology, and communication. The book features a focus on real-world stories and supplements these narratives with theoretical insights to provide a holistic understanding of the complex and nuanced dynamics of personal relationships. Themes range from initial attraction, relationship development, and relational maintenance to conflict, abuse, and dissolution processes like breakups and bereavement. Factors such as attachment, social support, relational sexuality, and the influence of race, class, and gender on relationships are examined. Specific issues like the effects of family challenges, diversity in family structures, and the psychological impact of relationships are also critically discussed. With its unique blend of narrative and evidence-based investigation, Contemporary Issues in Close Relationships is ideal for undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology, sociology, communications, and family studies.
