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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eNew types of families are emerging, and consequently, new issues are being raised about the dynamics of family relationships. \u003cem\u003eWhat Makes Us Stay Together?\u003c\/em\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIt 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47608264655084,"sku":"9781782200581","price":77.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781782200581-what-makes-us-stay-together.jpg?v=1778193591"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/rosetta-castellano.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
