The scientific study of personal relationships has largely centered on understanding heterosexual romantic relationships. Personal Relationships draws together a collection of articles that focus on some of the other significant personal relationships that influence people's lives, including family, school, community, and work relationships. This anthology emphasizes the importance of understanding the dialectic between healthy relationship building and leading a fulfilling and successful life.

Personal Relationships is an insightful and engaging work that is organized into six parts:



Relationship Foundations
Relationship Development and Processes
Friendship Relations
Developing Romantic Relationships
Relationship Challenges
Relationships in a Globalized World
