Obsessive Love

Written by Dr. Susan Forward and Craig Buck

Narrated by Dr. Susan Forward

Millions of otherwise rational and mature men and women are driven to self-defeating, out-of-control behavior by intense, unfulfilled desire. Millions of others— targets of such obsessions— find their lives turned upside down by unwanted attention, harassment, and attempts at coercion. Acclaimed therapist Dr. Susan Forward offers crucial help to both the obsessed and their targets. Using vivid case histories, drawn largely from her two decades of practice, Dr. Forward outlines the stages of obsessive love— from romance to rejection, from pursuit to revenge.

In a compassionate exploration of the roots of obsessive love, Forward provides obsessors with proven techniques to reduce their torment and to bring self-destructive behavior under control, allowing for the development of new, healthy relationships. Forward also offers targets practical strategies for assertive communication and self-protection.
