Barry Vogel, Attorney and Counselor is the Host and Producer of Radio Curious. Christina Aanestad is the Assistant Producer.
Are you jealous? Have you ever been? Do you know the origin of your jealousy? Jealousy often goes hand in hand with feelings of love, but where does this emotion come from, and how can we manage it?
 In this edition of Radio Curious we visit with Marcianne Blevis, author of âJealousy: True Stories of Loveâs Favorite Decoy.â In this book Marcianne Blevis, a psychiatrist and psychoanalyst who lives and works in Paris, France, reveals different ways jealousy affects different people and suggests methods to understand and manage what can be a very destructive yet elusive emotion.
She examines the deeper consequences of jealousy and inquires if jealousy is useful to us, and is this âextraordinary passionâ in reality âa strategy for survivalâ. I spoke with Marcianne Blevis from her home in Paris, France on February 2nd, 2009, and began by asking her to explain what jealousy is?
