Program Overview In this vision, the basic unit of study is not the individual as a separate entity, clashing with an external reality, but the relational field within which the individual arises and struggles to articulate himself. The person is graspable only within this tapestry of relationships, past and present.... [T] he figure is always in the tapestry, and the threads of the tapestry ... are always in the figure. -- Stephen Mitchell Relational psychoanalysis emerged out of a paradigm shift that has affected every clinician regardless of theoretical orientation. Recognizing the irreducible subjectivity of the therapist has ushered in a radical revisioning of the clinical encounter, central to which are questions of power and authority, and the co-constructed nature of what used to be considered “objective” reality. Greenberg and Mitchell, in their seminal 1983 work, first used the term “relational” to describe the intersection of interpersonal relations and object relations. Drawing on the work of Sullivan and Fairbairn, Winnicott and Loewald, among others, Mitchell progressively elaborated an American Middle School which theorized the individual mind as reciprocally influenced by both its interpersonal context and intrapsychic dynamics, which in turn contribute to the generation of unconscious fantasy life. Relational theory has been enriched by feminist and gender theory, with its deconstruction of accepted dichotomies and polarities; trauma theory, emphasizing the fluid multiplicity of self-states; and infant research, demonstrating the primacy of mutual regulation of affect in the development of the self. Intersubjectivity theorists, such as Stolorow, Ogden and Benjamin, have also contributed to the “two-person model”, which reminds us, to paraphrase Winnicott, that there’s no such thing as a patient or analyst in isolation, only a patient-analyst unit. With the growing popularity of the relational perspective come many questions and challenges: What are the implications for technique? Most notably, are self-disclosure and enactment utilized differently, and why? Can an attention to the here-and-now dynamic between patient and therapist that utilizes the reality of the therapist’s unique influence, and at times evidence of his or her actual internal state, allow sufficient room for the patient’s unconscious fantasy life? Does an emphasis on the subjectivity of the therapist risk encouraging narcissistic acting-out on his or her part, a risk, that some would argue, is reduced by the technical specifications of the one-person model? This year’s Intensive Study Group brings together outstanding local instructors of the relational approach to explore its history, current salient issues and practical implications. In the spirit of relational inquiry, we invite you to attend these seminars to question, challenge, engage or embrace a range of ideas that are animating and mobilizing the psychoanalytic community to think and work more creatively.
