| Summary |
"The essays in this book are written by a more than a dozen expert contributors, and address questions about defining love, the evidence for competing theories, and practical implications. Taken together, these essays offer a comprehensive comparison of contemporary data and theories." "As a follow-up to The Psychology of Love, which was published in 1988, this new collection engages with the many changes in the study of love in recent years. New theories are introduced, as are modifications to existing theories. Focusing not on a single point of view but on the entire range of current theories, The New Psychology of Love provides today's definitive account of the nature of love."--BOOK JACKET. |
