Article Title:Unvoiced Human Conversation of I-Thou: A Commentary on Kottler's paper, When the echoes of red and blue turn to green: Disentangling alienated alter-ego self experiences through a collaborative and complex relational, and conversational dance

Abstract:
Kottler's paper is beyond Togashi and Kotter's original understanding of Kohut's twinship/alter-ego, with exceptional sensitivity for clinical work. Her article successfully illustrates the essential process of the Psychology of Being Human. In this discussion, I add a few words to her description of the therapeutic process with her patient Ben, and describe an oscillation between I-Thou and I-It occurring within the context of an alter-ego relatedness.
