What to expect
When we love, we also flirt with madness. And when we read these captivating true stories of obessive love it is impossible not to recognise versions of ourselves.
Critics Review
-
I have enjoyed The Incurable Romantic, in which psychotherapist Frank Tallis opens his casebook. There have been quite a few such books recently, most of them overpraised and not as well written as their admirers claim. But Tallis writes with clarity and wit about the morbid condition of love, which emerges here as a kind of mental disorder . . . riveting stuff
Guardian -
A hugely entertaining, informative and often disturbing look at love in some of its strangest forms. Can’t recommend it enough
Mark Billingham -
Compelling
Susie Orbach -
Fascinating and beautifully written
Brett Anderson -
Frank Tallis brings a lifetime’s clinical experience and wise reflection to a condition that, by its own strange routes, leads us into the very heart of love itself. This is a brilliant, compelling book
Ian McEwan -
Thoughtful . . . Tallis has a graceful narrative style, easily incorporating brief digressions on deeper philosophical issues such as free will versus determinism. Most importantly, his book is suffused with compassion, avoiding facile categorization and struggling to understand and empathize with his patients as people in pain
