迷恋 (情绪)

迷恋或痴情（Infatuation）是指沉醉于一段难以言表的情爱之中的状态。通常指对一个人产生一种强烈而浪漫的柏拉图式情感。
特征.
教育心理学博士弗兰克·科克斯（Frank D. Cox）表示，只有回顾特定的情节，才能将迷恋与浪漫关系区分开来。迷恋也可能发展成为一种成熟的爱情。Goldstein和Brandon将迷恋描述为亲密关系发展成熟之前的第一阶段。菲利普斯曾描述过，当一个人在了解到爱人最真实的一面时，迷恋与幻想将如何不可避免地导致失望。这是一种奢侈而转瞬即逝的情感体验，或是青春时期的短暂爱情。
青年.
有人习惯上将年轻人之间的亲密关系和初恋关系视为青春期恋爱或迷恋； 但是，这种微妙的关系既有可能是一场逐步深入的爱情的早期阶段，也有可能于某一时刻戛然而止；这毫不奇怪，相反，它是那样的普遍，因为这是青春少年们探索情感世界时所必须迈出的第一步。
在这之中扮演了重要的角色，就像一位女学生迷恋一个男孩或一名男老师一样。
In transference.
In 精神分析学, a sign that the method is taking hold is 'the initial infatuation to be observed at the beginning of treatment', the beginning of 移情. The patient, in 西格蒙德·弗洛伊德'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'. 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'.
Some however claim that it is wrong to convince the patient 'that their love is an illusion...that it's not you she loves. Freud was off base when he wrote that. It "is" you. Who else could it be?'—thereby taking 'the question of what is called true love...further than it had ever been taken'.
Conversely, in , the therapist may become infatuated with his/her client: 'very good-looking...she was the most gratifying of patients. She made literary allusions and understood the ones he made...He was dazzled by her, a little in love with her. After two years, the analysis ground down to a horrible halt'.
Intellectual infatuations.
Infatuations need not only involve people, but can extend to objects, activities, and ideas. 'Men are always falling in love with other men...with their war heroes and sport heroes': with institutions, discourses and s. Thus for example 卡尔·荣格's initial '"unconditional devotion" to Freud's theories and his "no less unconditional veneration" of Freud's person' was seen at the time by both men as a 'quasi-religious infatuation to...a 邪教 object'; while Freud in turn was 'very attracted by Jung's personality', perhaps 'saw in Jung an idealized version of himself': a —'intellectually infatuated with one another'.
A woman too might have 'had a hankering for one "guru" after another...she loved being a pupil.'
But there are also collective infatuations: 'we are all prone to being drawn into "social phantasy systems" '. Thus for instance 'the recent intellectual infatuation with 结构主义 and 后结构主义' arguably lasted at least until '九一一袭击事件 ended intellectual infatuation with 后现代主义' as a whole.
泡沫经济 thrive on collective infatuations of a different kind: 'all boom-bust processes contain an element of misunderstanding or misconception', whether it is the 'infatuation with...becoming the latest billionaire', or the one that followed with 次级贷款s, once '艾伦·格林斯潘 had replaced the tech bubble with a housing bubble'. As markets 'swung virtually overnight from euphoria to fear' in the 2007年–2008年环球金融危机, even the most hardened had to concede that such 'periodic surges of euphoria and fear are manifestations of deep-seated aspects of human nature'—whether these are enacted in home-room infatuations or upon the global stage.
Literary depictions.
莎士比亚十四行诗 have been described as a "Poetics for Infatuation"; as being dominated by one theme, and 'that theme is infatuation, its initiation, cultivation, and history, together with its peaks of triumph and devastation'—a lengthy exploration of the condition of being 'subject to the appropriate disorders that belong to our infatuation...the condition of infatuation.'
