Summary

Jealousy explores a universal human emotion experienced with varying intensity throughout different life stages. Distinct from envy, jealousy involves three entities and impacts all parties involved, often accompanied by challenging feelings such as shame, guilt, anger, and hatred. The book examines jealousy’s developmental origins, cultural and poetic reflections, and its role as a defence mechanism against emotional anguish, emphasising that complete absence of jealousy diminishes relational depth.

Description

Jealousy is a human feeling experienced by everyone in varying intensities, at different times and phases of growth. Frequently confused, jealousy and envy are often intertwined. Even within the psychoanalytic literature, confusion persists and much less has been written about jealousy than envy. However, unlike envy, jealousy involves three entities and affects all people involved. It can be painful as other difficult-to-bear feelings (e.g., shame, guilt, anger, hatred) underlie jealousy. Yet, the total absence of jealousy renders a person less human, less relational. In analytic terms, jealousy is a defence against emotional anguish.

This book begins with an extensive overview of the nature, developmental origins, and poignant cultural (especially poetic) allusions to jealousy, emphasising that it is through artistic expression that a true understanding of this frequently deeply disturbing feeling is achieved. It closes with a thoughtful summary, synthesis, and critique of the chapters by 12 distinguished analysts.
