"Limerence": A new word and concept. |
|
| Authors: | Reynolds Sarah E. |
| Abstract: | Discusses D. Tennov's (1979) concept of "limerence," which is used to describe persons who are involved in the emotional "high" of new love. In turn, it is suggested that the new word has proved useful in research as a way of reordering observations. Speculations are made about possible relevance to the psychotherapies of Freud and others. (13 ref) (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2010 APA, all rights reserved) |
