An Expert Look at Love, Intimacy and Personal Growth Second Edition 2008

After thirty years of theoretical formulations, I pull them all together in my comprehensive model of love relations by integrating evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis, cognitive and social psychology. This theoretical model lets us see why relationships can be so irrational.

  • Why do so many people have problems with love and intimacy?
  • Why do some parents scapegoat their children?
  • What is Parental Alienation Syndrome?
  • What is the MMPI?
  • Can we predict dangerousness?
  • Why do we have ground rules in therapeutic relationships?
  • Why must we grieve loss?
  • Are the years in psychoanalytic psychotherapy worth it?
  • How does one achieve personal growth?
  • How do psychologists detect lying and defenses?
  • Which theory of psychotherapy is best?
  • Is self-esteem important or is it a pop-psych myth?
  • Is it the divorce that hurts children or what came before the divorce?
  • What is a psychotherapy session like?

I Love You Madly! On Passion, Personality and Personal Growth

by Robert M. Gordon, Ph.D.

What does it take to have a lasting love relationship? Dr. Robert Gordon shows that the course of love is fairly predictable based on the personalities and histories of the lovers. Only insight and mutual concern can help change this path. He explains the psychology of romantic love from both personal and professional perspectives. Along the way, he integrates evolutionary psychology, psychoanalysis and social psychology in the context of dramatic stories of love and psychotherapy. Learn how to recognize healthy love relations from relationship killers such as narcissism, defensiveness and hostility. I Love You Madly! informs about the science of psychology, yet reads as an entertaining novel.
