This text, written by two social psychologists, tells the story of scientific research on intimate relationships in a comprehensive yet concise manner.
Presented at a level equally suited for beginning and advanced students of the field, Intimate Relationships covers both classic and current material. Chapters range from attraction to love, attachment to jealousy, conflict to relationship dissolution ― all written in a warm, personal, and engaging voice.
Each chapter is organized around the major issues and relevant theories, in addition to a critical evaluation about the research. When appropriate, the authors discuss and evaluate popular ideas about relationship processes in the context of scientific research. This includes critical evaluations of evolutionary approaches to attraction, victim-based counts of abuse, and the separate-cultures view of the sexes.

‘This new, substantially revised edition delivers fascinating content, including a comprehensive range of concepts and theories that form the foundation of relationship science. It is a treasure trove of contemporary and classic examples that perfectly and elegantly illustrate the course concepts. There is a lightheartedness to the writing that is engaging and earnest―students will find this a fun book to read!’ - Leah Bryant, DePaul University, USA
‘Erber and Erber have updated their excellent textbook, which is well-written and based on classic and the most up-to-date research from the science of relationships. Each chapter covers an important topic about close relationships and is covered from an interdisciplinary perspective. The engaging text and ancillary material make it an ideal text for an undergraduate course on personal relationships.’ - Susan Sprecher, Illinois State University, USA
‘Once again, Erber and Erber have produced a comprehensive and readable text that covers the field of relationship science, including classic studies and the latest research. If you’re looking for a book that engages while it enlightens, you’ve found it.’ - Christopher R. Agnew, Purdue University, USA
