Dorothy Tennov was a psychologist and researcher who pioneered the concept of limerence in her 1979 book "Love and Limerence." Her work was based on extensive interviews and case studies of individuals experiencing intense romantic attraction.
Tennov's research challenged traditional views of love and relationships, offering a new framework for understanding obsessive romantic feelings.
Although her work was initially controversial, it has since gained recognition in psychology and popular culture.
Tennov's exploration of limerence has influenced subsequent research on attachment and romantic love, contributing to a more nuanced understanding of human relationships and emotions.
