ABSTRACT

The theory and practice of intersubjectivity demonstrates that the psyches of two or more subjects function in reciprocity, in such a way that they influence each other on several levels: affects, desires, and the other's fate. The subjects are affected by each other's psychic state, feel affected by and responsible for the other. This chapter discusses the identification with a negative, with something unimaginable that creates voids and splits and vacuoles in the ego and that is responsible for thought disorders. The concept of intersubjective links calls upon the idea of groups; in the case of the company, the unconscious alliances, loyalties, and ideals make integration possible. Those who understand this really well are those managers who ask the employee to get really involved in the company, so that it becomes a second skin. Transgenerational links between the members of complex family are very affectionate; all are, attributive, reflexive and passive; help each other in a very caring way.
