Abstract	Issues involving love often arise in counseling, because love is so fundamental to the experience of our humanity. But theories of love and related assessments are only at a primitive stage of development. The present study explored the construct validity of scores on a popular measure of love styles, by examining relationships between love styles and scores on a measure of personality dysfunction. Data was collected from 144 graduate and undergraduate students who completed the Hendrick-Hendrick Love Attitudes Scale and the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory-II. Results suggest that the Love Attitudes Scale used to score the subjects' perception of love style may be construct valid. Results also indicate that counselors must possess an understanding of love, if they are to facilitate the healthy functioning of their clients. Also included in this document are tables and appendices that display the results of the subjects scores of love style perception. Contains 28 references. (Author/SR)
