- Description
- Contemplates Chaucer's concern with and depictions of therapeutic "intersubjectvity" in light of modern cognitive theory and evolutionary psychology, particularly as expressed by Brian Boyd. Chaucer's "clinical sensibility" (50) is evident in his concerns with "adaptive" meaning making, "affective companionship," humor, play, healing, consolation, cuteness, openness, and "vulnerability to the Other." Includes comments on BD, Bo, PF, MilT, Mel, and NPT.
