I Know You Really Love Me: A Psychiatrist's Journal of Erotomania, Stalking, and Obsessive Love - Hardcover

In this painfully honest account you will follow the victim as she struggles to regain control over both her personal and professional lives. In the process, she educates herself about this little-understood mental disorder and meets other victims, including: case histories of stalking victims, from David Letterman and Madonna to a woman rabbi, an Olympic athlete, and scores of others; unbelievable true stories of the depths to which the wily stalker will go - such as "The Tunneler," who dug his way beneath an apartment building to get at his victim; cases that led to murder, of either the victim or the stalker.

In a final section the author discusses the need for adequate treatment and punishment of erotomanics, and points out problems in existing anti-stalking laws and ways to strengthen them. A guide to organizations that assist victims, plus protective measures to deter a potential stalker or erotomanic, are provided as well.

"I fought this battle a few years ago, engulfed by fear and outraged by the lack of protection provided me under law. I salute Doreen Orion for her courage and vigilance - I urge everyone to read I Know You Really Love Me and join the fight!" - Tina Sinatra.
