Interview by Whitney Johnson. Written by Brittany Stubbs.
In a society constantly questioning monogamy and companionship, Dr. Sue Johnson, a clinical psychologist and developer of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy, uses cutting-edge research to help ordinary people understand why and how we love. In her new book Love Sense: The Revolutionary New Science of Romantic Relationships, she presents scientific evidence to show how human beings are meant to mate for life and how to develop one’s own “love sense,” which is our ability to develop long-lasting relationships. In our exclusive interview with the author, she shared her inspiration for the book as well as her thoughts on our culture’s fascination with failed love.
