For my mother and father: in memoriam
This is most strange,
That she whom even but now was your best object,
The argument of your praise, balm of your age,
The best, the dearest, should in this trice of time
Commit a thing so monstrous to dismande
So many folds of favor.
—France to Lear, in King Lear
Being a self with others entails a constant dialectic
between attachment and self-definition, between
connection and differentiation, a continual negotiation
between one’s wishes and will and the wishes and will
of others, between one’s own subjective reality and
a consensual reality of others with whom one lives.
—Stephen Mitchell, Relational Concepts in Psychoanalysis
