«En aquellos lugares de la sexualidad y el dolor donde occidente entrena el silencio, Anne Dufourmantelle invita al consuelo a través de la acción y la palabra. [...] Quizás la lección más valiosa que nos da su obra es que para vivir hace falta atención amorosa y entrega, también en el dolor . -Sara Torres

Qué hacer en caso de amor? No hay acto más arriesgado que amar y ser amado, el eje en torno al cual gira toda nuestra vida. Desde las historias imaginarias que nos contamos cuando nos enamoramos hasta las ansias de venganza de quien se ha visto abandonado, la mordedura de los celos, la fascinación, la fusión amorosa, el deseo de posesión, el odio, el desapego o la liberación, el acontecimiento de la pasión y sus múltiples figuras están en el centro de este libro.

En la intimidad de la consulta, la psicoanalista escucha con atención y recoge las palabras de sus pacientes, que alimentan a su vez la propia angustia de la autora en torno a un misterio en apariencia irresoluble: por qué, desde el principio de los tiempos, nos lanzamos ciegos al juego del amor y aceptamos una y otra vez el riesgo de amar.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

"In those areas of sexuality and pain where western culture trains us to stay silent, Anne Dufourmantelle offers comfort through words and action. [...] Perhaps the most valuable lesson she offers is that giving ourselves over to love, as well as pain, is a necessary part of living." -Sara Torres

What to do in case of love? There is no bigger risk than loving and being loved, the axis around which our lives turn. The dreams we weave when we fall in love, the vengeful impulses we feel when we are betrayed, jealousy, infatuation, romance, possessiveness, hate, falling out of love, passion in its many forms - all are at the center of this book.

The author, a psychoanalyst, listens and chronicles the words of her patients, which inform her own musings on a seemingly irreconcilable mystery: Why, since the beginning of time, have human beings thrown themselves blindly into love and its attendant risks?
