Toward Mutual Recognition

In Toward Mutual Recognition, Marie T. Hoffman, coming from a Christian perspective,suggests that the current relational turn in psychoanalysis has been influenced by numerous theorists - analysts and philosophers alike - who were themselves shaped by an embedded Christian narrative. As a result, the redemptive concepts of incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection - central to the tenets of Christianity - can be traced to relational theories, emerging analogously in the transformative process of mutual recognitionin the concepts of identification, surrender, and gratitude, a trilogy which she develops as forming the ",path of recognition.", Each movement on this path of recognition is given thought-provoking, in-depth attention.
