The Psychology Of Love by Sigmund Freud
Freud analyzes love as a complex interplay of unconscious drives in which erotic libido is displaced onto external objects and shaped by early caregiver relations; he distinguishes object-love from narcissistic self-love, traces how infantile experiences (including Oedipal dynamics) determine adult object-choice and sexual aims, and explains how mechanisms such as repression, sublimation, and transference transform and complicate erotic impulses—so that love becomes both a source of gratification and of conflict, repetition, and suffering within individual and cultural life.
