Packed with helpful suggestions for those seeking love and those already in it, this book is about love's many puzzles.

With expanded research, theory, and practice, this book once again provides one of a kind understandings of the experience of love. The new edition offers updated references to recent research, new chapter exercises, and "case examples" of romantic stories to begin each chapter. |
