Sample text
They seem to be aimed at a concept of objective countertransference in which the analyst can simply know, on the basis of her superior self-knowledge (supplemented, perhaps, by psychoanalytic theory) which feelings are objective and which ones are not. In contrast, the concept of objective countertransference presented here is an intersubjective concept. The experience of objective countertransference is co-created by patient and analyst. It cannot manifest without the analyst’s subjectivity. It cannot be understood without a biographical understanding of the patient’s subjectivity, either in itself or in relationship to other people in the patient’s life.
Emotional communication is often a particularly prominent part of the analytic process in the early years of an analysis, especially at times when the transference intensifies and new material is brought into the analysis. Conversely, the role of emotional communication often diminishes as the process of working through issues progresses and the patient learns to express feelings in words. Nevertheless, this process is never complete. Although an increasing ability to use cognitive communication to express the whole range of human feelings – to put the story of one’s life into words – is a hallmark of analytic progress, the cognitive dimensions of language cannot completely supplant emotional communication in analysis any more than they can in life.
The classical position is based on a view of the analytic relationship, and human interaction, in which it was possible for the analyst to minimize the influence of her subjectivity, both on her thinking about the patient and on how she relates to the patient. Contemporary critics, drawing on theories of a two-person psychology,4 argue that the analyst’s subjectivity not only shapes feelings about the patient, but also her thoughts, theories, and interactions with the patient as well. They reject the idea that the analyst – a subjective human being – somehow put on a white analytic coat and turned into an emotional Geiger counter, evaluating the effect of the patient’s subjectivity on herself without having an impact upon it.
