The Risk of Relatedness

The book explores the clinical stance of intersubjectivity theory through established psychoanalytic concepts like neutrality, empathy, and trauma. It emphasizes the significance of the unique intersubjective field and the intricate dynamics between therapist and patient, moving away from rigid technical rules. The author highlights the 'risk of relatedness' as essential to the psychotherapeutic process, suggesting that both the patient and therapist's development influences outcomes. Case studies illustrate the dynamic nature and challenges within this therapeutic framework.
