Love bombing through a legal and psychological lens
Daniel Ryan Cotler examines love bombing as the opening stage in a broader framework of narcissistic psychological warfare, connecting relationship behaviors to questions of autonomy, coercion, and accountability. The book argues that intense attention, rapid commitments, and pressure for constant contact can function as control tactics rather than signs of affection. It also presents psychological and neurological explanations for how dependency and trauma bonds may form, alongside legal concepts and research that Cotler uses to support his case. Its central purpose is to recast the discussion of early relationship manipulation in terms of constructed intimacy and fraud; its legal characterizations are the author’s argument, not an independent determination of law.
Good fit for readers who enjoy
- Survivors seeking a framework for understanding love bombing and relationship manipulation.
- Advocates interested in legal recognition of emotional abuse and coercion.
- Readers interested in psychological accounts of dependency and trauma bonds.
