[3] Dr. Ian Kerner, a sex therapist, states that infatuation usually occurs at the start of relationships, and it is "...usually marked by a sense of excitement and euphoria, and it's often accompanied by lust and a feeling of newness and rapid expansion with a person."[4] Phillips describes how the illusions of infatuations inevitably lead to disappointment when learning the truth about a lover.[5] Adolescents often make people an object of extravagant, short-lived passion or temporary love.[6] The patient, in Freud's words, 'develops a special interest in the person of the doctor...never tires in his home of praising the doctor and of extolling ever new qualities in him'.[19] What occurs, 'it is usually maintained...is a sort of false love, a shadow of love', replicating in its course the infatuations of 'what is called true love'.[20] "What's the Difference Between Love and Infatuation?".
