The official explanation is that Darth Sidious did quite a number on Dooku's psychological state.
Numerous sources, IIRC, suggest or outright state that Dooku was a "disciple" of Sidious perhaps even prior to the death of Darth Maul. Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Labyrinth of Evil, and the Revenge of the Sith novelization all establish a continuity regarding Dooku: he regards his Master with a mixture of fear firmly within the realm of terror, awe that borders on deifying, and a deep respect.
How he got to this point is a mystery, but I'm sure a rational explanation for Dooku's conversion [SPOILER - highlight to read]: doesn't exist. Mind control?
