Stimmen zu »The Science of Intimate Relationships«

"This textbook would work well for a collegeclass." (Metapsychology Online Reviews, 29 July2014) "The text can be used academically at an advancedbaccalaureate or graduate level. There is an equally well-organizede-study guide available as a Kindle download that highlightsconcepts to facilitate the memorization of terms. The book can alsobe drawn upon in arenas outside of academia. The busy clinician,for example, may find that the work is simply a good read whilealso encouraging currency with scientific domains falling outsideof his or her immediate field." (Journal of Sex& Marital Therapy, 22July 2014) "Overall, The Science of Intimate Relationshipsserves asan important contribution to the array of books available in thefield of relationship science. Its breadth of coverage would makeit an excellent choice for college courses in intimaterelationships, as noted above, as well as make it of interest toanyone wishing to have a good background in the science of romanticrelationships." (PsycCRITIQUES, 11 September2013) "...An essential read for budding relationshipsexperts." (Psychology Today, 30 April 2013) "Fletcher and colleagues do an excellent job simplifying(but not oversimplifying) the sometimes very complex scientificliterature on intimate relationships...The book succeeds inaddressing relationships from several different perspectives, mostnotably social psychological, evolutionary, and neuroscientific.This produces a much broader approach than is seen in most otherbooks on relationships. The book is highly interdisciplinary andforeshadows an emerging integrative science of intimaterelationships."--Dr. Jon Maner, Director,Florida State University "What makes this book distinctive is its strong,integrative theoretical underpinning and its coherent narrativestyle. The authors' approach is unabashedly scientific andthe text makes it very clear that relationship science is exactlythat. However, the text is also perfectly pitched fornon-scientists, with each chapter telling a lucid,thought-provoking and deeply informative story - sciencewriting at its most graceful and engaging. This is a truly greattext that will stand as a benchmark for many years tocome."--Professor Julie Fitness, MacquarieUniversity
