review 1: This book was fluffier than I was expecting when I decided to read it. Although the author does include case stories of couples in crisis, and close to divorce, the difficulties faced by these couples seem to not be very emotionally complex and Dr. Johnson's exercises designed to help fix the problems strike me as a bit simplistic. The author does not really discuss more challenging issues in relationships such as substance abuse, intimate partner abuse, personality disorders, etc, and how these factors influence/contribute to attachment styles and the interplay between the styles of 2 partners. Overall I didn't find the book to be very useful or enlightening, and it read to me like an overly long magazine article.
review 2: The psychology of love. This books ... moretalks about some old theories of bonds(attachment), connections in relationships, some science {loved the part about oxytocin}, sex. There are a lot of examples of relationship issues (I would have loved more science...). It is only in the past decade that science has reversed it position on studying such mundane things as emotions - indeed the author talks about Grad School and how science did not study "soft" areas.Overall, it is interesting. She makes a good case about connections and love as being the foundation to achievement in all areas of life, which is interesting in our wold today because many people are single now, in fact more people are living alone that at any other time in history. less
