Scholar's Symposium: The Paradox
of Loss: Toward a Relational Theory of Grief |
| |
Presented by Marilyn N. McCabe, Ph.D.,
Michele Rose, L.C.S.W., and John S. Auerbach, Ph.D. |
| |
|
In exploring
"impossible mourning," Derrida (1986) recognizes that the other
"within" us is not the other who existed physically in life, nor,
however, a narcissistic fantasy extension of "self." Death brings the
possibility of an intersubjective knowledge that is founded neither in
the real or the imaginary, but somewhere in between. Rather than
proceeding in orderly stages or phases, grief may be quite messy. I
will explore the nature of the selfobject relations of the griever
when a significant intimate has died. These relations include
development of transferential and transformational reactions and an
ongoing dynamic internalization of the lost other that can be better
explained in terms of a dialogical or multiplicitous self/other than
an autonomous identity. |
