The Tending Instinct

Women, Men, and the Biology of Relationships

Edición de la obra The Tending Instinct

"Psychologist Shelley E. Taylor didn't know there were any big mistakes left in science, until she learned that the classic theories of stress - most notibly the "fight or flight" response - were based almost entirely on studies that involved only male subjects. In setting out to discover how women respond to stress, Taylor and her colleagues revealed a profound truth that revolutionizes our understanding of human behavior: we are biologically programmed to care for one another."--BOOK JACKET
