'Tallis writes with clarity and wit about the morbid condition of love, which emerges here as a kind of mental disorder . . . riveting stuff' Sebastian Faulks, Guardian 'A hugely entertaining, informative and often disturbing look at love in some of its strangest forms. Can't recommend it enough' Mark BillinghamDrawing on the latest scientific research and key ideas from the major schools of psychotherapy, The Incurable Romantic examines the biological and psychological mechanisms underlying romance and emotional attachment . Elegantly written and filled with fascinating insights into intimate relationships, this candid clinical memoir demonstrates that love dissolves the divide between what we judge to be normal and abnormal.'It is utterly compelling: the details, the dialogue, which bring each character leaping off the page . . . He knows how to tell a story. Boy, does he know how to tell a story. This powerful and moving book is not just about individual cases. It's also about what the human animal needs . . . They are certainly enough here to create something that feels profoundly truthful. Something that feels, in fact, like an act of love' Christina Patterson, Sunday Times
