  Monomania - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In psychiatry, monomania (from Greek monos, one, and mania, mania) is a type of paranoia in which the patient has only one idea or type of ideas.
Emotional monomania is that in which the patient is obsessed with only one emotion or several related to it; intellectual monomania is that which is related to only one kind of delirious idea or ideas.
In colloquial terms, the term monomania is often attached to subcultures that to the general public appear esoteric.

In that form of monomania, of which I spoke at the commencement of the chapter, it is evident that the understanding is disturbed, and that this lesion brings about the disorder of the affections and actions.
In reasoning monomania, with which I am now occupied, the understanding is not essentially disordered, since it assists in the acts of the insane person, and the patient is always ready to justify his sentiments and conduct.
In the first, the disposition and habits are changed; in the second, the affections are perverted; and at length, in the third, a maniacal excitement appears, or else a weakening of the faculties more or less rapid, leads the monomaniac to dementia.

 MONOMANIA
Monomania explores the cultural prominence of the idée fixe in Western Europe during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
She introduces us to artists and collectors, voyeurs and scholars, hypochondriacs and melancholics, whose lives are run by debilitating compulsions that may become powerful weapons against the tyranny of everyday life.
Monomania shows that transforming life into art, or at least into the artful, drives out the anxiety of the void and puts in its place something so orderly and meaningful that it can take on the aura of a religion.

 Adventures in Stereo: Monomania - PopMatters Music Review
All respect is paid to the sources, yet this is clearly of the year 2000; the sound perhaps of someone nostalgic for a golden age they never really knew.
Monomania is the second U.S. release for the group, which drips with nostalgia for the '60s but in a sense is once removed.
Beattie plays after the style of his avowed influences, and Boyle sings with a breathy, angelic voice reminiscent of what Sinead O'Connor is capable of when she isn't emoting all over the floor.

 The Harvard Crimson :: Opinion :: Spreading Ourselves Too Thick
It is just a particularly unfortunate manifestation of the monomania that consumes many of us during our Harvard careers.
It functions as a sort of limit—it’s impossible, after all, to avail ourselves of all of the College’s extracurricular and social opportunities; devoting ourselves wholeheartedly to one activity acts as a sort of check.
But monomania itself is often self-checking; exposed to something for long enough, we often tire of it.

However, with the arrival of Monomania, it's clear that AIS's fixation with the mid-'60s Los Angeles pop-scene isn't restricted to just the Beach Boys--they find equal inspiration in the good-time groove of the Mamas & Papas ("International") and the sugary pop of the Turtles ("Birds" and "This Day"), among others.
Nor are they content with producing mere facsimiles of a bygone era as much as creating something new using the best aspects of the past.
Monomania, their second full length release, is like a sunny afternoon: pleasant, achingly beautiful, easy to forget when the next one rolls around.

And Monomania, the sophomore release of this band's repertoire, has but a single reason for existing: it's your brief and blatantly insubstantial guide to the last 25 years of foppish white boy music.
And though you'll lightly dine on barely nutritious ersatz product during the Monomania program, you'll pass for the slimmer, leaner lite-psych devotee you always hoped you could be within just a few hours.
The entire pop legacy of the 1960s is contained within a single cardboard package.

 The Sniper, by Justin Raimondo
By monomania I mean a fixation, or obsession, that colors perceptions and makes normal interaction with the world difficult, if not well nigh impossible.
