    amp ldquo The diversity of perspectives presented in the current volume makes it a must for scholars interested in the physiological and psychological mechanisms of social bonds. amp rdquo amp ndash CHOICE

    This edited volume takes what might appear to be disparate topics and creates a narrative of the human social experience that is highly informative and coherent amp hellip Each of the chapters is skillfully edited so that there is relatively little repetition of information across chapters. The result is one of the very few edited books I have encountered in which the chapters flow seamlessly, as if written by one very good author.

    (PsycCRITIQUES)

    The diversity of perspectives presented in the current volume makes it a must for scholars interested in the physiological and psychological mechanisms of social bonds.

    (Choice)

    This book is an interdisciplinary exploration of how social connections are expressed at the neurological, developmental, dyadic, and group levels.

    Social connections contribute to our vitality and sense of meaning and-at times-to our anguish. The mechanisms underlying human connections have long fascinated researchers in the social sciences and, more recently, in neuroscience. Yet there is too little dialogue among these scientists and too little integration of findings.

    This book aims to rectify that situation by surveying cutting-edge theory and research on social connections. Chapters explore the formation of social connections at four levels of expression: neurological, developmental, dyadic, and group.
