What’s Love Got To Do with It?
Psychological Perspectives on Intimacy, Sex, and Close Relationships
“We humans are social beings. We come into the world as the result of others’ actions. We survive here in dependence on others. ... And most of our happiness arises in the context of our relationships with others.” — the Dalai Lama.
This series explores the many ways in which close relationships shape our daily lives and well being, and we, in turn, shape them. Come learn what psychology has to teach us about this most fundamental aspect of our humanity.
