Description and Table of Contents

Description

In Love, Intimacy and Sex the authors aim to provide a systematic scientific model of love, intimacy and sex -- a necessary beginning for any successful attempt to understand the vastly complex particulars of sex in modern society. They contend that modern sexual views -- influenced by relativism and pop-Freudianism -- have grossly distorted contemporary views of love. Their provocative work is a creative reformulisation of past research with extensive examples of case studies from life and literature which extend our knowledge of bonding, unbonding, and rebonding in relationships. A fascinating reappraisal of love, it is a thought-provoking commentary for both professionals and advanced students in the area of interpersonal relations.
