Where do we fall when we fall in love?

"In these writings, many of them published for the first time in this volume, the author reconceptualizes psychoanalytical theory of instinctual drives and object relations. Among a wide range of issues, she considers sexual identity and gender theory along with character theory. These essays continue the investigation of love that she began with her previous coauthored book, Cherishment: A Psychology of the Heart."--Jacket.
