About this book

With contributions from Anne Adelman, Salman Akhtar, Shawn Blue, Ann Eichen, Arpana G. Inman, Sameer Khan, Olga Santa Maria, Andrew Smolar, and Pratyusha Tummala-Narra.

The realm of marriage is affect-laden and challenging on many psychosocial fronts. What is the relationship between love, sex, and marriage? Is marriage a developmental landmark? Why do marriages fail? Is monogamy "natural"? What about bigamy and polygamy? There are many, many questions that arise about marriage and Marriage and Its Discontents seeks answers. The chapters cover topics that range from the normative to deeply worrisome, from customary to highly unusual, from rapture to rupture, from sacred to profane.

The book opens with a wide-ranging Prologue by Ann Eichen. It is followed by the first part, "Variations, " which includes chapters on same-sex marriage and interracial and intercultural marriages. The second part, "Vexations, " has chapters on marriages that are designated as "perverse" or "dead." The third and final part of the book, "Violations, " addresses the topics of marital infidelity and divorce. Closing the book is the Epilogue by Andrew Smolar, bringing his keen psychoanalytic attention to the matters of marital discord. The insight and knowledge imparted by these fascinating chapters enhances the readers' empathy and affective attunement to the blend of conflict and bliss found in many marriages. It is essential reading for all practising clinicians and those looking for greater insight into the impact of marriage on individuals' lives.
