Falling in love by its description represents a fall, from what, normality? John D. Moore's fascinating work, 'Confusing obsession with love' allows a glimpse into one of the faces of love. It is a casptivating read and with his own admission of suffering from the condition he writes about makes it a must for anyone interested in the nature of love. Most of us learn about love initially through our parents or carers and then via relationships with others in adolescence. After reading Moore's work the question remains, 'do I love or do I want to control?' Loving and protecting, loving and cherishing, loving and longing are possibly parts of how we love but in certain individuals love turns into a punishing anxiety and obsession. The book is a wonderful learning experience that to many may come well after those adolescent times after stepping into love's mysterious currents, that being said I highly recommend John D Moore's monograph to anyone interested in love, in love or wondering whether they are in love.

Changed my life!
24 Aug 2006
Format:Paperback
This was the first book that truly spoke to my situation. I had a hard time putting the book down becuase I related to so many of the people inside. Finally, someone has written a book for both women and men about obsessive, addictive relationships. I feel like I have new insight into problem and can start making positive changes in my life. Excellent book for anyone caught up in another person.

Incredibly insightful
2 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
This book goes well beyond what you expect. It's an indepth look at obsessive relationships and how they tick. But it also helps you distinguish between an obsessive relationship and a regular one. There are many valuable pieces of advice on love and family relationships, and distinguishing what is healthy and what is not.
Fortunately, this not like many self-help or psychology books, where you feel the information is above you. It is written in a highly-readable, interesting style. Whether or not you're an impatient reader, this will hold your interest--and you will "get" the information presented.
Examples from real life help you understand the seemingly minor differences between regular and obsessive relationships. If you've ever suspected your relationship is bordering on control and meeting another's needs, this is certainly the book for you. It is incredibly helpful.

A lifesaver
2 Sep 2006
Format:Paperback
Are you loved--or are you an object of obsession? This is the tough question you can sort out with the help of this book.
I've never seen a book deal with this subject. Many of us have been subject to this type of controlling, sort of insane relationship. And who has helped? Finally there is a book to explain some of the actions of a loved one who is more oriented toward obsession than true love.
This book can help you distinguish between how to change such a relationship into a loving one, or when it is not going to be anything but obsessive and move on. I guess the people most interested in this book will be those with an obsessive partner, and that makes sense--finally there is a book to help us sort out the mysterious codes and signals that reveal an obsessive relationship rather than a healthy one.
