Description
A person's way of relating to others develops over time and is influenced by many factors. Beginning with infancy and childhood and moving through adolescence and adulthood to relationships in the later years, students will learn how our earliest relationships shape our capacity to love in later life. Themes such as attachment, intimacy, and conflict will be explored in the context of a wide range of relationships, including siblings, adult children, and elderly parents. Can sibling rivalry leave lasting scars? How do marriages change over time? How do men's and women's friendships differ?
