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

What does it take to have a lasting 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.

5Why does some love seem to last eighty years while others barely last eight hours?   Sep 03, 2008
Why does some love seem to last eighty years while others barely last eight hours? "I Love You Madly: On Passion, Personality and Personal Growth" is an examination of romantic love and why sometimes it stays and sometimes it goes. With a discussion of what kicks it off and what kills it, it's a text, that although nonfiction, will entertain as it enlightens. "I Love You Madly" is recommended to any who want to understand this strange thing called love.

5Love, Lust and Craziness Explained  May 31, 2006
What makes relationships sizzle - and why do so many fizzle? Dr. Gordon's I LOVE YOU MADLY! admirably addresses both of these thorny, age-old questions. I can't say that the book solves the entire mystery of love - for no book could do that -- but the reader certainly comes away much wiser. I know that I did.

4Lowering the Relationship Risk  May 29, 2006
The wisdom, clinical experience, and humor of the author served him well in writing this book. Doctor Robert M. Gordon has created a highly readable volume in "I Love you Madly!" Reading can never remove the innate risk of being in relationship, be it friendship or romantic love, but "I Love you Madly!" goes a long way to shed light and grace upon the unconscious processses involved in relating to others.

5fantastic book!   Apr 26, 2006
I pre-ordered this book last week, got it yesterday - and couldn't put it down until I was done. WOW! I've never read anything like it. It intrigues you from the very first paragraph, it pulls you in and makes you turn page after page after page. So beautifully written. And you learn so much along the way! I just got a crash course in psychoanalysis in the most simple, poetic language. Fantastic!

5A truly comprehensive look at love and relationships.  Apr 25, 2006
A remarkable book. Very few psychologists/psychotherapist would reveal and analyze their love relationships - Dr. Gordon does. Hardly any therapists, particularly those who are analytic, have the courage to show exactly what goes on in a therapy session - Dr. Gordon does. And along with this, a theoretical overview of what love relationships are about, and a comprehensive look at personality dynamics. This book offers psychologists and the general public an important understanding of what happens in a love relationship, and how they can go bad. Of particular note is the wonderfully poetic dialogue between two lovers - the grand human tragedy beautifully expressed.
