Social psychology has made great advancements in understanding how
our romantic relationships function and to some extent, dissolve.
However, the social and behavioral sciences in much of western
scholarship often focus exclusively on the more positive aspects of
intimate relationships--and less so on more controversial or
unconventional aspects. The goal of this volume is to explore and
illuminate some of these underrepresented aspects: aspects such as
non-monogamy, female orgasm, sadism, and hate, that often function
alongside love in intimate relationships. Ultimately, by looking at
intimate relationships in this way, the volume contributes to and
advocates for a more holistic and comprehensive view of intimate
relationships. Throughout the volume, contributors from social,
clinical, and evolutionary psychology cover love and hate from a
variety of (sometimes opposing) perspectives. The first section,
covers love and the changing landscape of intimate relationships.
Its chapters review the current literature and research of
understudied topics like non-monogamy, female orgasm, sexual
fantasies, and the viewpoint of love as something other than
positive. The second section explores hate and how hate can operate
in intimate relationships--for example, the appearance of sadistic
behavior and debates the nature of hate as either a motivation or
emotion. The volume concludes, by looking at ways in which the
appearance of hate in relationships can be dealt with and overcome
successfully. Taken together, these two sections reflect the full
variety of experiences within intimate relationships. With the aim
of exploring how love and hate can-and frequently do-work together,
The Psychology of Love and Hate in Intimate Relationships is a
fascinating psychological exploration of intimate relationships in
modern times. It is an invaluable resource to academics and
students specializing in psychology, gender, and sociology,
including clinicians and therapists, and all those interested in
increasing our knowledge of intimate relationships.
