Description
In recent years, commentators have speculated on the "collapse" of the couple and the family, highlighting the increasing fragility of couple relationships, making them vulnerable to crises and breakups. Now, more than ever, and prompted by changes that have shaken our assumptions about the socio/cultural context, the reasons that make couple relationships unstable are sought in the negotiations and redefinitions required by the changes themselves.
New types of families are emerging, and consequently, new issues are being raised about the dynamics of family relationships. What Makes Us Stay Together? underlines the role of attachment as a central motivational system in couple relationships. The book focuses on the relationship between past and present experiences in determining choices, perceptions, and feelings in couple relationships.
It considers what other motivational systems interact with attachment in constituting a couple's dynamics and looks at aspects more directly experienced by couples: in particular, how they feel about their relationship, especially in terms of the degree of intimacy between them. This is something that attachment theorists might evaluate to determine how "good" a relationship is.
The authors focus their attention on the outcomes of relationships as seen from the perspective of attachment theory. After a brief overview of the main conclusions reached on this topic, a new view of the couple dynamic is proposed to identify various possible outcomes.
