Welcome back, Scott! Would Amy Wolfe's rather unusual relationship be able to be so easily classified as a paraphilia? People who have paraphilias, such as shoe fetishes, don't have *relationships* with the shoes. They don't want to * marry* them. I suppose we could consider comorbidity and look at the unusual relationship as a separate disorder...
(Sorry about the DSM mistake. I should have remembered that we're now at DSM-IV-TR - not V yet!)
