1985 book by Robin Norwood

Women Who Love Too Much is a self-help book by licensed marriage and family therapist Robin Norwood published in 1985.

The book, which was a number one seller on the New York Times Best Seller list's "advice and miscellaneous" category in 1987, is credited with "spawn a cottage industry in the therapy community." Its premise, that women who get "mired in obsessive relationships" are to help themselves, was criticized by some feminist scholars.
