Description
Summary:David Bakan's (1966) distinctions between agency and communion are two relational categories that correspond in many ways to my differentiation be- tween emanation and contraction. By drawing on Max Weber's formulations, both of us trace Western controlling patterns of communication or sexuality to the Protestant egocentric salvation ethic. By using Eli Witztum's clinical observations as a constructive critical impetus, the promising psycho- therapeutic potential inherent in the broad yetzer-yetzira paradigm is then briefly discussed in terms of its possible contribution to an egalitarian and spiritual model of sexuality.
