 This incisive program explains the scientific process humans undergo in relationships and love. Joe Herbert, professor of neuroscience at Cambridge University, and Dr. Janet Reibstein, from the Department of Psychology at Exeter University, among others, provide neurological analysis of a fictional young couple dealing with infidelity issues. The physical and physiological effects of stress in relationships are also discussed, and five real case studies—with subjects ranging in age from 14 to 85—are highlighted as they each approach different aspects of heartbreak: infidelity, bereavement, coping strategies, and the struggle to choose a new mate. A Discovery Channel Production. (49 minutes)
