Would-be social butterflies will get encouragement but little inspiration from this not quite scintillating self-help primer.

Shadow of the Other: Intersubjectivity and Gender in Psychoanalysis
Shadow of the Other is a discussion of how the individual has two sorts of relationships with an "other"--other beings, other individuals.

The second understands and recognizes this other by its function as a repository of characteristics cast from oneself.
This book is about the central figure of our contemporary, 'liquid modern' times - the man or woman with no bonds, and particularly with none of the fixed or durable bonds that would allow the effort of self-definition and self-assertion to come to a rest. Having no permanent bonds, the denizen of our liquid modern society must tie whatever bonds they can to engage with others, using their own wits, skill and dedication. But none of these bonds are guaranteed to last. Moreover, they must be tied loosely so that they can be untied again, quickly and as effortlessly as possible, when circumstances change - as they surely will in our liquid modern society, over and over again.
