My New Book on Limerence: The Psychopathology of Loving Too Much - Out Today!!!

Today is a very special day. My book Limerence: The Psychopathology of Loving Too Much has just been released by Routledge. Writing this book has been a journey of research, reflection, and deep commitment to bringing more awareness to an experience that affects so many people but is rarely talked about in the field of psychology.

Limerence is more than just a passing infatuation. It is an intense, enduring state of longing for another person that can disrupt daily life, strain relationships, and leave those experiencing it feeling isolated and misunderstood. Despite its profound impact, limerence has remained under-researched and often dismissed. My goal in this book is to give it the attention it deserves, both clinically and culturally.

In these pages, I explore limerence from multiple perspectives: psychological, neurobiological, relational, and symbolic. I share case studies, diagnostic frameworks, and therapeutic approaches, while also weaving in mythological and cultural understandings that show just how universal this experience is. My argument is simple but important: limerence deserves recognition as a serious clinical issue, and it is time we bring it out of the shadows.

This book is for anyone who has felt consumed by longing, who has struggled to understand why an attachment feels so powerful and unshakable, or who wants to support someone going through it. It is also for therapists and clinicians seeking tools and language to work with clients who present with limerent symptoms.
