Consistent with a previous article on SofR, I
challenged the notion that there is a
causal association between Facebook use and divorce; however, I did discuss the idea that Facebook may present new
challenges to
relationship commitment because Facebook increases the number
of alternative partners we perceive to our current
relationships.2 I also incorporated SofR writer Jennifer Bevan's research which indicates that couples who use integrative communication (e.g., explaining your feelings
of jealousy calmly and constructively to your partner) report more satisfaction and commitment in their
relationships.3
This presentation will clearly illustrate the neuroendocrine and
causal relationship between the various forms
of PTSD and these medical disorders which have mystified and
challenged the fields
of psychology, psychiatry and internal medicine.
