I Know You Really Love Me: A Psychiatrist's Account of Stalking and Obsessive Love

I Know You Really Love Me: A Psychiatrist's Account of Stalking and Obsessive Love by Orion, Doreen. mass_market edition. ISBN: 9780440225997.

Locked in a ward of an Arizona psychiatric hospital, the patient called Fran looked harmless, even ordinary. Meeting her, psychiatrist Doreen Orion had no warning that Fran suffered from erotomania, the bizarre mental disorder that causes stalkers to believe their victims are in love with them--and no inkling that she would be the next target of Frans twisted, dangerous mind. Now Dr. Orion reveals how she has been spied upon, accosted, and hunted for eight years, living in fear of her life and the lives of those closest to her. Changing her address and job, getting restraining orders and having Fran arrested, have all failed to end Frans obsessive behavior, which continues to this day. Recounting the ordeals of Madonna, David Letterman, and scores of others who have been terrorized by stalkers, Dr. Orion alerts potential victims to this increasingly deadly disorder--and tells what society must do to protect us all from those who would kill for love.
