We: Understanding the Psychology of Romantic Love
by Rachel King
In here, I enjoyed most the history and cultural contextualizing of romantic love—a factual revelation of the Western unconscious, and the description of the similarities and differences between male and female psyches—a good reference if you want to write effectively from the other gender’s point of view. Johnson uses a Jungian interpretation of the myth of Tristan and Iseult as a starting point, which made this discussion more palatable to me than straight-up textbook psychology.
