Love and Limerence: The Experience of Being in Love by Dorothy Tennov explores the complex psychological and emotional state of being “in love,” distinguishing it from other forms of attachment. Tennov introduces the concept of “limerence,” a condition characterized by intense, obsessive feelings towards a person, often accompanied by an overwhelming desire for reciprocation. The book delves into the various stages of limerence, the psychological effects it has on individuals, and its potential impact on relationships. Tennov also discusses how cultural and personal factors shape our experiences of love. Through case studies and research, she highlights the contrast between limerence and mature love, providing a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon.
This insightful work is valuable for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the emotional dynamics in romantic relationships. You can find the pdf book and download eBook or download pdf versions online for further reading.
