Dating. Courtship. These words evoke great interest in nearly every
reader. In Courtship, the authors explore courtship research,
paying particular attention to differences between relationship
development and deterioration and courtship development and
deterioration. They describe factors that affect the later course
of marriage, trace the historical roots of courtship in America,
discuss various models of courtship that have guided research in
this area for the past 40 years, examine circumstantial factors
that discriminate between stable and unstable premarital
relationships, explore the "dark side" of courtship--violence
between dating partners--and reveal the processes involved in the
dissolution phase of premarital relationships. The volume concludes
with a look at the future of courtship as an institution and
suggestions for further research. Provocative and thoughtfully
presented, Courtship is directed to advanced undergraduate
students, graduate students and professionals in psychology,
communication, sociology, family studies, and social work. "This
volume should have broad appeal for both students and
professionals. It is clearly and carefully written, and draws on
scholarship from several relevant disciplines. The authors do an
outstanding job of summarizing extant research in a fashion that is
digestible to undergraduate students, yet useful to the interested
researcher. Cate and Lloyd have painted a coherent and provocative
picture of a broad and difficult phenomenon. Their synthesis should
be useful in helping to establish a sound agenda for future
research on mating and dating." --ISSPR Bulletin "This volume of
the Sage Series on Close Relationships provides a cogent, concise,
and highly readable overview of courtship. Given the book's
brevity, one is favorably surprised by the amount and depth of
material covered. . . . Many insights are offered. . . . The
inclusion of the darker side of dating relationships is a welcome
addition. . . . Chapters . . . weave a scholarly narrative with
such expertise that the reader may come away with the feeling of
having read a well-written and well-documented historical novel. .
. . The authors are to be commended for their articulate and
insightful coverage of this aspect of relational life. Regardless
of discipline, students of personal relationships would benefit
greatly from this review." --Journal of Marriage & The Family
