UOB Professor Dr. Carla Serhan Publishes New Book

Dr. Carla Serhan, a Full Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences at the University of Balamand (UOB), has recently released her latest book titled "Le Voyage Quantique de la Jalousie Amoureuse" through the renowned French publisher, L'Harmattan.

This work explores the complex and often misunderstood emotion of jealousy within the context of romantic relationships. Dr. Serhan’s book is not only a scholarly resource but also an insightful read for both academics and the general public. It delves into the depths of jealousy, offering perspectives that resonate with anyone who has struggled with the emotion in their love life.

With careful analysis, Dr. Serhan raises crucial questions: Is jealousy an emotion experienced by specific individuals or groups? Is it rooted in low self-esteem, or is it merely a reflection of doubt and possessiveness? Through a psychoanalytic lens, the book incorporates the works of prominent thinkers such as Sigmund Freud and Michèle Montrelay, as well as literary references from Euripides to Marguerite Duras, to address these questions and provide meaningful insights into the nature of jealousy.

"Le Voyage Quantique de la Jalousie Amoureuse" offers readers a profound reflection on the emotional intricacies of love and jealousy, challenging conventional representations of this feeling while encouraging a deeper understanding of its psychological and cultural dimensions. Dr. Serhan’s interdisciplinary approach bridges psychoanalysis, philosophy, and literature, making her book a valuable addition to both academic and personal libraries.
