Love - Freud and Beyond

Blog: http://psychreviews.org/love-sigmund-freud-and-beyond/

Valentine's Day is coming soon and instead of something light and fluffy, it's a good a time as any to do a deep dive into intimate relationships. Social connections and intimate relationships are the boogeyman for many people. Some prefer being alone and others feel that intimate relationships are worth it, even if there are a lot of conflicts. For them we are making social memories that last a lifetime. Love is always worth it! Then there are another group of people who treat it as a hobby and think that it's not worth taking seriously. It's a cynical game where most of the fun is in the anticipation. Consummation leads to boredom.
