Passion - How come no-one is talking about it?

by Segal, D., PhD, 8/30/97

I am quite surprised not being able to find a really good analysis of the topic of PASSION. I am not speaking about the sexual context only. How is passion experienced? What are the sensations? How does it relate to love and desire? Is it a personality factor influending all human activity or could one have passion in one area (lets say sex) but not in another (lets say work )? Lets brainstorm together.
