Abstract
This research analyzes the obsessive love disorder experienced by the main character in The Crush movie and the cause of the obsession using a psychological approach by Dr. Susan Forward. The main character named Adrian is a 14 years old teenage girl who developed a crush on Nick, a journalist who rents the guest house belonging to Adrian’s parents. However, her crush gradually turned into an obsession after Nick’s rejection. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method to analyze the data. There were two types of data, those are primary data and secondary data. The primary data were obtained from the movie script entitled The Crush (1993). The secondary data were obtained from articles, international journals, books, and sites which are related to the topic of this research. The data were collected through several steps including watching the movie while reading the script, identifying the data through the technique of note-taking, classifying the data, and reducing the data. This research has two conclusions. The first conclusion is that the reason for her obsessive love disorder is Nick’s rejection of her feeling. The second conclusion is stated that Adrian possessed all the qualities of someone with obsessive love disorder. Her obsessive love is represented by pursuit tactics and acts of revenge. In order to get Nick’s attention Adrian used pursuit tactics such as showing up unannounced and phoning Nick incessantly. However, when the pursuit tactics did not work, she used acts of revenge to sabotage Nick’s life and hurt people close to him. Keywords: Psychoanalysis, Obsessive love disorder, pursuit tactics, acts of revenge.
