A Practical Guide for RelationshipsReviewsReading this book is so enjoyable that you don't realize until the end that Murray and Holmes have quietly revolutionized relationship science. Experts and novices alike will delight in the flow of the narrative and the depth of the insight. The authors' expansive theory, which integrates a vast literature and offers countless new ideas, is an inspiration; it will serve as the framework that launched a thousand studies. - Eli Finkel, Department of Psychology, Northwestern University, USA Grounding their conclusions in the best and latest scientific theory and research, Murray and Holmes take the reader on a very interesting journey through the ups and downs of close relationships. They do a wonderful job of unpacking and explaining how and why events that occur in relationships influence the ways partners think, feel, and behave. It is refreshing to see such a readable, practical work grounded so squarely in solid scientific principles and data. Would make a great supplemental text for courses on intimate relationships. - Jeffry A. Simpson, Department of Psychology, University of Minnesota, USA This book is terrific. The authors--established masters of interdependence theory--express that theory well, then leap forward to articulate a truly new theory of interdependent minds. They draw on important work on cognition, consciousness, levels of processing, and trust to give us new perspectives on responsiveness in close relationships. This book is serious science, clearly written. It is a perfect book to assign in a seminar on relationships or to put on a required reading list for social psychology graduate students. We need this sort of book to convey the nature of the very best work going on in our field. --Margaret S. Clark, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University Here is the eagerly awaited book on close relationships by two brilliant, trailblazing scholars. It is full of evocative, thought-provoking stories about the struggles and clashes of real couples, as well as profound new insights into why relationships succeed and fail. This book is the culmination of decades of systematic, disciplined research. If you want to know what modern psychological science has to teach about the complexities of intimate relationships, read this book first. --Roy F. Baumeister, PhD, Francis Eppes Professor of Psychology, Florida State University Personal relationships are the most important part of our lives, and involve the most basic human motivations and emotions. Murray and Holmes provide a detailed presentation of the best current research on how relationship processes operate, often outside of our conscious awareness, so that we can be unaware at any given moment of exactly why we feel or act the ways we do. This book provides readers with a careful, objective, scientific road map to their interpersonal hearts and minds. --John A. Bargh, PhD, Department of Psychology, Yale University This is not just a book for researchers. In the current climate of seemingly impermeable boundaries between scientific research and clinical practice, the authors plainly aim to keep the real-world implications of their model and research on the front burner. Clinicians will find countless ideas that clarify problematic behaviors once considered inscrutable or dismissed as pathologies and numerous insights and suggestions for helping clients understand and improve their relationships. --from the Foreword by Harry T.
