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 their obsession - find their lives turned upside down by unwanted attention, harassment, and attempts at coercion.
Acclaimed therapist Dr. Susan Forward offers crucial help to both obsessors and targets. Using vivid case histories, drawn largely from her two decades of practice, Dr. Forward outlines the stage of obsessive love - from romance to rejection, from pursuit to revenge.
In a compassionate exploration of the roots of obsessive love, targets are given practical strategies for assertive communication and self-protection. Obsessors learn proven techniques to reduce their torment and to bring self-destructive behavior under control, allowing for the development of new, healthy relationships.

"I cannot recommend this book highly enough, if it were an option I would have put an extra star on here. The best book I've ever read about exactly what emotional blackmail is, how each person contributes to it, the price we pay in getting involved in a blackmail cycle, and how to get out of it. " — Angela (5 out of 5 stars)
