Abstract
This review applauds Drozek’s exploration of the ethical dimension of psychoanalysis. However, it both questions Drozek’s essentialist attributions to the idea of dignity and argues that the term “a sense of being human” is a better term than the linguistically complex and cumbersome “dignity.” Limited to subjectivity, “a sense of being human” is both lighter than “dignity” and relationally derived. The review also advocates adding Kohut, Brandchaft, and Orange to the bibliography of important theorists on ethical dimensions in psychoanalysis and their clinical implications. Their valuable perspectives also underline the contribution of contemporary self psychology and intersubjective systems theory to the relational pursuit.
