Reviews

There may be any number of books written on the psychology of relationships, but none until Modern Relationships reflects the complexity of interpersonal affairs in twenty-first century life (from singlehood by choice to conscious uncoupling). That is, until Mahzad Hojjat and Anne Moyer gathered together this group of influential investigators who have written a set of fascinating chapters embracing diverse orientations and various cultural perspectives. The chapters are well crafted and will be of interest to faculty and students alike. * Peter Salovey, President and Chris Argyris Professor of Psychology, Yale University *
