Example text

Stern describes this development as follows: The self becomes a mystery. The infant is aware that there are levels and layers of self-experience that are to some extent estranged from the official experiences ratified by language. The previous harmony is broken. (Stern 1985:272) This crisis in self-comprehension occurs because, for the first time in its life, the infant experiences the self as divided and rightly senses that no one can heal this split (Stern 1985:272). Stern thus described four organizational stages in the development of a sense of self: the emergent self, the core self, the subjective self, and the verbal self.

Stern 1985:118) Of course the mother also has her own ideas and expectations of interaction. Her “evoked companion” includes not only the child, but also, in an experiential background derived from earlier interactions, her own mother. Mother’s own maternal fantasies enter into the interaction with her child as well. There are also areas in which the subjective worlds of mother and infant overlap. According to Stern, the subjective experience of the child is largely social, regardless of whether the child is actually with others or alone.

Shame resides on the borderline between self and other. It plays a critical role in the mediation of interpersonal closeness and distance, sensitively gauging my feelings about how close I can and want to let someone come. Of course, trust enters into the equation as well. I must trust that the others will respect my self-esteem and integrity if I decide not to conceal from them “the naked truth” of who I really am. Fear of being hurt by an intimate encounter has to do with the fear of being exposed, ridiculed, and shamed—whether in an obvious or a subtle way.
