Essential,
This review is from: The Cambridge Handbook of Personal Relationships (Cambridge Handbooks in Psychology) (Paperback)
Although I am only a lay person in terms of psychology, I really enjoyed reading this tome. It answers many questions and I would advise anyone looking for solutions to problems in their own personal relationships to read this.It is highly technical and written primarily for the professional psychologist, and I would describe it as essential reading for anyone in the social science field. It is very comprehensive and covers more or less every aspect of the subject and deep explanations and analyses.
