Intersubjectivity from Koh...I will try to respond. <br />Intersubjectivity from Kohut's ideal of the "selfobject" where affective attunement means "lending self" to other and Benjamin's idea that both analyst and analysand must achieve "mutual" recognition or the relationship collapses into a complementary dominant/submissive pattern is fascinating inquiry into the construct of "affective attunement" I work as an elementary scholl counsellor in Vancouver Canada and am always questioning whether I should "lend self" to other (Kohut's selfobject) OR MAINTAIN A TENSION WHERE THE STUDENT MUST RECOGNIZE THE OTHERS SUBJECTIVITY AS A CENTRAL FOCUS.<br />Donna Orange in her book (Emotional Understanding) also brings in the pragmatists view of intersubjectivity which G.H. Mead and Habermas have elaborated.<br />Finally because I work in public school settings Vygotsky's construct "mediated mind" explores intersubjectivity from a cultural-historical framework.<br />I would be interested in any thoughts or readings where these ideas are being applied to school settings.Larryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11806353112851938069noreply@blogger.com
