How can we get the most out of our close relationships? Research in
the area of personal relationships continues to grow, but most
prior work has emphasized how to overcome negative aspects. This
volume demonstrates that a good relationship is more than simply
the absence of a bad relationship, and that establishing and
maintaining optimal relationships entails enacting a set of
processes that are distinct from merely avoiding negative or
harmful behaviors. Drawing on recent relationship science to
explore issues such as intimacy, attachment, passion, sacrifice,
and compassionate goals, the essays in this volume emphasize the
positive features that allow relationships to flourish. In doing
so, they integrate several theoretical perspectives, concepts, and
mechanisms that produce optimal relationships. The volume also
includes a section on intensive and abbreviated interventions that
have been empirically validated to be effective in promoting the
positive features of close relationships.
