Jealousy and envy permeate the practice of psychoanalytic and
psychotherapeutic work. New experience and new relevance of old but
neglected ideas about these two feeling states and their origins
warrant special attention, both as to theory and practice. Their
great complexity and multilayered nature are highlighted by a
number of contributions: the very early inception of the
"triangular" jealousy situations; the prominence of womb envy and
hatred against femininity rooted in the envy of female
procreativity; the role of shame and the core of both affects; the
massive effects of the embodiment of these feelings in the
conscience (i.e., the envious and resentful attacks by the "inner
judge" against the self); the attempt to construct a cultic system
of sacrifices the would countermand womb envy by an all-male cast
of killing, rebirth, redemption, and blissful nourishment; and
finally, the projection of envy, jealousy, and their context of
shame and self-condemnation in the form of the Evil Eye. Taken
together, the contributions to the stunning and insightful volume
form a broad spectrum of new insights into the dynamics of two
central emotions of rivalry and their clinical and cultural
relevance and application.
