Conference probes personal relationships

Do good relationships lead to great sex and what makes a positive couple relationship so good - reward for effort or sheer good luck?

These are just two questions which will be answered at the International Conference on Personal Relationships (ISSPR) 2000 to be held in Brisbane between June 27 and July 2 this year.

ISSPR President and University of Queensland School of Psychology Professor Pat Noller said the Conference, to be held at Emmanuel College in St Lucia, would bring together personal relationships researchers from around the world.

Other key themes to be dealt with at the conference include new developments in loneliness research, emotions in relationships, forgiveness and guilt in relationships, domestic violence and inappropriate relationships.
