Friends, for life: The psychology of personal relationships

Since 1983, when this book was first published, the study of personal relations has developed as an interdisciplinary social science study field. This edition covers current developments in "enemyship", dual income family relationships, rejection in childhood and romantic love. New sections have been incorporated which deal with the impact of AIDS on close relationships, the ways in which couples communicate about sex, gay and lesbian relationships and flirtation and boring communicators.
