Love and the Self

This project is about psychoanalytic accounts of love and the self, or, more specifically, psychoanalytic accounts of the self in love. I am interested in the ways that psychoanalytic theory differs from standard philosophical accounts of love and loving, particularly in the ways that loving changes or un-settles our sense of self.  If love, in some way, dissolves a boundary between persons, I want to know more about how it does this.
