Third Edition
2 July 2019
MODERN RESEARCH ON MODERN LOVE
Although our need for intimacy is an enduring facet of human nature, our relationships are also constantly evolving to reflect the rapid pace of technological and social change. The Third Edition exposes students to the myriad ways that relationships have been transforming, as well as to the latest research tracking and explaining these shifts.
A DIVERSE LOOK AT INTIMACY ACROSS COUPLES AND CULTURES
Understanding relationships requires that students recognise how varied the experience of intimacy can be across different age groups, income levels, cultures and sexualities. In this text, the appreciation of diversity is not merely incidental but rather is used throughout to refine and deepen students’ understanding of core principles of how couples function.
