Description: Relationships with family are important to our emotional health and can play a significant role in our social success. We need our families and yet frequently have a great difficulty understanding them. 'The Oxford Handbook of Evolutionary Family Psychology' focuses on the reasons underlying family behavior and how a greater understanding of these factors can help us to better understand our own family behaviours.
