Despite the rapidly changing definition of “couple” throughout the years, in 2017, the term is still at the core of one’s personal and social lives. By focusing on the analysis of multiple indicative factors of a conjugal relationship, the authors of this collective provide a detailed overview of the main answers to contemporary scientific questions based on the psychology of couples. Thus, they go beyond prejudices and dogmas. In fact, they strongly believe that certain knowledge—which will be questioned, revised, clarified and contested based on fact in this book—is just a simplified, and too optimistic or too pessimistic, view of life as a couple. This comprehensive analysis offers scientific insight on the foundational and theoretical relationship concepts, the relationship development, the relationship process behind the optimal conjugal relationship, and the research and intervention methods to use with couples. This book nourishes reflection on complex relationship challenges as a whole, and is sure to please all professionals working in the field of relationship psychology.
