Summary/Abstract: There is an increased interest lately in the literature regarding the relevance of intranasal administration of oxytocin in most of the neuropsychiatric disorders, and especially in those related to social behaviour. In addition, considering that the current knowledge about the roles of oxytocin in maintaining monogamous relationship is at its beginning, we are speculating in this paper about the research regarding the advantages that oxytocin may bring in the therapy of the couples and its social and ethical implications.
