Review Quotes:
"This exciting volume provides us with a biopsychosocial blueprint for understanding the effect of relational processes on the development of mental health and psychopathology. In addition to reviewing cutting edge research from animal models to immune function and marriage, this volume makes the translation from science to practice, with important implications for primary care and mental health clinicians and researchers. This volume is not just a small step; it represents a giant leap forward for the field."-- "Susan H.
