Reviews"This textbook would work well for a college class." ( Metapsychology Online Reviews , 29 July 2014) "The text can be used academically at an advanced baccalaureate or graduate level. There is an equally well-organized e-study guide available as a Kindle download that highlights concepts to facilitate the memorization of terms. The book can also be drawn upon in arenas outside of academia. The busy clinician, for example, may find that the work is simply a good read while also encouraging currency with scientific domains falling outside of his or her immediate field." ( Journal of Sex & Marital Therapy , 22July 2014) "Overall, The Science of Intimate Relationshipsserves as an important contribution to the array of books available in the field of relationship science. Its breadth of coverage would make it an excellent choice for college courses in intimate relationships, as noted above, as well as make it of interest to anyone wishing to have a good background in the science of romantic relationships." ( PsycCRITIQUES , 11 September 2013) "...An essential read for budding relationships experts." ( Psychology Today , 30 April 2013)
