This volume aims to provide undergraduate students with an
opportunity to read contemporary, cutting-edge research on the
psychology of love and relationships. The articles selected for
this anthology are written by some of the most active researchers
in the field and address a broad cross-section of topics. These
articles were specifically chosen to complement the basic material
available in most current textbooks on love and relationships, and
to provide a more in-depth look at some of the hottest areas of
current research, including the neurobiology of bonding, long-term
predictors of marital satisfaction and stability, same-sex
relationships, intimate violence, and the health implications of
love.
The mix of empirical articles and chapters make the book lively and
interesting, providing a balance between breadth and depth, and
allowing even non-psychology students to get a close-up perspective
on this exciting topic. The editor, Dr. Lisa M. Diamond, integrates
a broad cross-section of readings that reflect the diverse
methodological and theoretical approaches taken to this topic. The
result is an accessible, insightful collection of readings that can
be used as a standalone teaching text or supplement the range of
textbooks current available on this topic.
Lisa M. Diamond is Associate Professor of Psychology and Gender
Studies at the University of Utah. She received her Ph.D. in Human
Development from Cornell University. Dr. Diamond is an
internationally-recognized expert on female sexuality and

Fluidity," published by Harvard University Press, has been awarded
the Distinguished Book award from the International Association for
Relationship Research. Dr. Diamond has received other numerous

Women, the Society for the Scientific Study of Sexuality, the
