Perlman and Duck′s book focuses on the development of intimate relationships. It has been organized around the chronology of a relationship, and deals conceptually with new developments such as the acknowledgement of both positive forces and conflict processes; greater attention to stages and processes; and areas of concern to both researchers and practitioners. The contributors provide new statements on work at the forefront of the field and provide fresh suggestions for interventions.

Recent research has made it increasingly clear that close personal relationships are the cornerstone of interpersonal behaviour and social contact and that such relationships are more than merely common in human experience, they are necessary for survival. Research indicating that the quality of one's intimate relationships predict the frequency, severity, and prognosis of both psychological and medical complaints and also possibly mediate the influence of environmental stress on adjustment and well-being. It is clear that much work needs to be done in order to fully understand the nature and influence of relationships in our lives.
