This Thesis deals with the problem of selfhood and otherhood, or selfhood vs otherhood from the point of view of contemporary postmodern, structuralist, psychoanalytic and developmentalist theories. In the first chapter, Jean Baudrillard and Jacques Lacan are examples of theories of exteriority. In chapter II, Sigmund Freud and Melanie Klein present arguments for theories of interiority. In the third and final chapter, Daniel Stern' s analysis allows for a reconciliation of the two opposing points of view about the nature of the Subject. His work is significant in that it offers a synthetic view of the Self and its relationship to the Other.
