Document Summary
Healthy relationships and communication ch 10 ch 11, 434-464 (introduction to sexual behaviour) Human being need social relationships; we cannot thrive as solitary creatures. Nor could the human species survive if adults didn"t cherish and support each other, if we didn"t form strong, mutual attachments with our infants, and if we didn"t create families in which to raise children. Although people are held together in relationships by a variety of factors, the foundation of many relationships is the ability to both give and receive love. Love in its many forms---romantic, passionate, platonic, parental is the wellspring from which much of life"s meaning and delight flows. In our culture, it binds us together as partners, parents, children and friends. Just as important is developing a healthy relationship with ourselves, which includes the ability to self-soothe, to regulate our emotions, and to be alone with ourselves at times.
