This volume reviews the history of LOVE among humans since they evolved from primates. Then the author integrates various contributions from several academic disciplines (i.e. philosophy, neurological evolution, physical/social sciences, parapsychology with his personal LOVING and professional experiences, as a Couple Counselor, in Mill Valley, Ca., U.S.A. He describes S.S.O.R. (Successful Signifi cant Other Relationship) as containing stages which include, In Lust (1), Darth Vader (2), Silly Putty (3), Tolerance (4), Ferrari (5).
