I couldn't answer on where that hierarchy comes from, but I was quite interested to see that in this book, Big Friendship, the best friend authors had difficulties and managed to find a couples therapist to work with them. I guess not everyone privileges couples.

Research masters student writing up research into mental health during Covid

Totally true. I love my friends as much and more than many romantic relationships, but it's considered a stupid thing to say.

Let me know how you get on!

The lucifer effect by Philip zimbardo is a good read.
The phemonology of working class experience by Charlesworth was one, of the first psych books I fell in love with.
The mirror dance by krieger is more sociology but I love that also.

I'm a social psychology fan myself. I like the focus on social factors that's missing in a lot of psychology stuff. Are there any topics you're particularly interested in?

Behavioural psychology isn't that great, although if you're going that way I quite enjoyed Walden two by bf skinner.

It's definitely me ancient slapper!!!!! Xxxx
