Compare Beyond Doer And Done To by Jessica Benjamin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters

InBeyond Doer and Done To, Jessica Benjamin, author of the path-breakingBonds of Love, expands her theory of mutual recognition and its breakdown into the complementarity of "doer and done to." Her innovative theory charts the growth of the Third in early development through the movement between recognition and breakdown, and shows how it parallels the enactments in the psychoanalytic relationship. Benjamin's recognition theory illuminates the radical potential of acknowledgment in healing both individual and social trauma, in creating relational repair in the transformational space of thirdness. Benjamin's unique formulations of intersubjectivity make essential reading for both psychoanalytic therapists and theorists in the humanities and social sciences. | Beyond Doer And Done To by Jessica Benjamin, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
