The Ethical Turn: Otherness and Subjectivity in Contemporary Psychoanalysis (Relational Perspectives Book Series)

This volume provides 19 essays by researchers from the US, who first presented them at the 2013 Psychology and the Other conference. They examine the turn to ethics in psychoanalysis, and the role of philosophical and theological traditions concerning subjectivity and its relationship to the Other. Specifically, they address ethics in terms of mutual vulnerability in clinical practice; submission; the psychological effects of class issues; caring; uncertainty and trauma; the experiences of modern Jews, including gender aspects; the role of responsibility in Martin Heidegger, Hans Loewald, and Emmanuel Levinas; Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogical theory; American identity; empathy and understanding in psychoanalytic psychotherapy; disability studies; and D.W. Winnicott's reading of Maurice Blanchot. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
