초록/해제  
요약Love in late modernity is marked by both more freedom and more insecurity. On the one hand, we have more choice in who and how to love. On the other hand, these choices get commodified under capitalism and constrain us. The romance industry is a major engine of romantic commodification: it sells fantasies of passionate love and profits when these fantasies spin out of control. An ostensible refuge from this commodification is the "healthy love" industry, a branch of therapy culture, which promises to help us reap the benefits of romantic freedom without losing our sense of self-control. But how well does this work, and for whom? This dissertation analyzes the healthy love industry as a both a limited solution to the pain of modern love and a gendered form of social control. Through a mixed qualitative case study of "love addiction" recovery groups, a quintessential space of healthy love, I show how lovers come to think of themselves as unhealthy and work to get healthy, and how women's oppression gets reproduced in the process. I make a central argument: the healthy love industry can empower people as they muck through the uncertainty of modern romance, but these effects are not equal, nor are they permanent. "Getting healthy" for men is about emotionalizing the self, while women, already stereotyped as overly-emotional, must work to rationalize the self and set stronger boundaries against romance. But since romantic love continues to be held up as central to women's self-worth, women oscillate between the goals of romance and health, blaming themselves when they fail to achieve either. Ultimately, healthy love further constrains women's romantic options while offering men expanded access to romance. My analysis contributes to debates around the potential for therapy culture to ease gendered oppression and highlights one critical way in which it falls short.
