Where do I come from? Who am I now? Where am I going? The question of one's own identity is existentially significant. Identity always develops in interaction with other people: in the relationship between I and you, in the confrontation with the self and the other. The becoming of personality happens anew time and again - in a movement between the inner and the outer, between our own dreams, fantasies, self-images, and the world of others. The renowned Jungian analyst and psychotherapist Verena Kast demonstrates in this book: In the mirror of others, we can reflect on ourselves and are challenged to develop our identity - in the tension between autonomy and relatedness.
