Dark Eros by Thomas Moore

This book examines the darker dimensions of erotic longing and attachment, arguing that love and desire carry shadow elements—jealousy, cruelty, possession, destructiveness—that culture too often represses or denies; drawing on myth, literature, and depth psychology, it shows how acknowledging and integrating these impulses can prevent them from erupting destructively and can transform erotic energy into a source of creativity, depth, and moral awareness.
