February 4, 2022 — Perspectives on analytic process
[46 pages]
Glen Gabbard and Drew Westen offer a pluralistic approach to therapeutic action. Rather than continuing a debate about “interpretation vs. relationship”, they embrace a broad view of techniques and strategies, conscious and unconscious, influencing change in treatment. Slavin and Kriegman develop a model of treatment based on the belief that conflict is inherent in the analytic relationship, as both parties are impacted by their individual subjectivities. How do you incorporate multiple perspectives into your work?
