Product Description

Review
""The Shadow of the Other... is an impressive effort at building and integrating theory in the domain of feminism, gender, object relations theory, and intersubjectivity."
-"Journal of the American Psychoanalytic Association
"Jessica Benjamin's latest effort to bring critical theory and psychoanalysis into a dynamic conversation results in many splendid insights. She defends her provocative claim that psychoanalysis is an extension of the Enlightenment, clarifies her own relational contribution to object-relations theory, and insists that harboring alterity within the self remains the ideal for psychic life. Along the way, she emphasizes the importance of undoing repudiations, of rewriting the oedipal and pre-oedipal in relation to gender polarity, and reminds us of the oscilliation of gender categories. In calling for a reintegration of the preoedipal into the postoedipal, she makes the matter of intersubjective recognition at once complex and urgent.."
-Judith Butler, University of California, Berkeley
..."tightly written and carefully argued."
-"Journal of Feminist Family Therapy
"A timely volume for gender studies programs, and for graduate programs with psychoanalytic components.."
-"Choice
""Shadow of the Other extends Benjamin's groundbreaking and influential studies of gender, intersubjectivity, love and aggression. Her original elaboration of intersubjectivity serves to intertwine feminism and relational psychoanalysis into a tightly woven and richly textured intellectual tapestry. What really sets Benjamin's work apart is her brilliant utilization of a systematic dialectical approach to her subject, always maintaining the delicate balance betweenopposing tensions: masculinity and femininity, subjectivity and objectivity, passivity and activity, love and aggression, fantasy and reality, modernism and postmodernism, the intrapsychic and the intersubjective. Benjamin's capacity to creatively play with intellectual ideas is unsurpassed as she continually spins concepts around, moving in new, unexpected, and surprisingly useful directions.."
-Lewis Aron, Ph.D., ABPP New York University Postdoctoral Program


Product Description
This text is a discussion of how the individual has two sorts of relationships with an "other" - other individuals. The first regards the other as a seperate but equivalent centre of being who can be known and can recognize oneself in return. The second uses the other as a mental repository for unwanted characteristics cast from the self. The author shows the implications of this dual relationship for male/female hierarchy and offers a possibility for balancing the two. The book continues the author's explorations of the themes of intersubjectivity and gender, taking up issues at the forefront of debates in feminist theory and psychoanalysis.

Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
In reflecting on the one-hundredth anniversary of Studies on Hysteria, I felt impelled to remember an earlier point, the seventy-fifth anniversary, in which the rebirth of the feminist movement occurred-a movement that had at least equal importance for the inventor of the "talking cure," Anna O., a movement that has been shadowing psychoanalysis since its inception and has, in our time, called for and led to a massive revision in how we view ourselves and the subjects of those original Studies. Read the first page
