Description
Robert D. Stolorow explores the intersection of post-Cartesian psychoanalysis and Heidegger's existential philosophy in this thought-provoking work.
The author outlines the evolution and core ideas of intersubjective-systems theory, a phenomenological contextualism that examines emotional experience within relational contexts. He then shows how post-Cartesian psychoanalysis can benefit from Heidegger's analysis of human existence, and vice versa, creating an important psychological bridge between these two philosophical perspectives.
This book offers a nuanced understanding of the phenomenology of emotional trauma, highlighting the ways in which our experiences are shaped by our relationships with others.
