“…Many analysts who themselves focus on the transference experience of the patient have taken exception to aspects of Gill's position. Evelyne Schwaber (1983Schwaber ( , 1992Schwaber ( , 1995Schwaber ( , 1998aSchwaber ( , 1998b, for example, teaches a method of paying close attention to the patient's perception of the analyst's participation in the transference but does not advocate that the analyst step back to judge its 'plausibility', seeing this as an off-shoot of Gill's interest in interpersonal techniques. Instead, Schwaber would suggest that the analyst attempt to maintain a strict focus on elaborating the patient's psychic reality without setting herself up as an external judge of its plausibility.…”

Using detailed clinical vignettes, the author illustrates and compares several North American approaches to the analysis of transference, tracing their origins in Freud's works and in various post‐Freudian conceptualizations, including the writings of Anna Freud and Charles Brenner. Particular attention is paid to the work of Merton Gill, Evelyne Schwaber, Paul Gray, and the British analyst, Betty Joseph. Discussed and illustrated are controversies over the broader and narrower views of transference, the interpretation of action in the analytic setting, earlier and later interpretations of transference with particular emphasis on the contrast between contemporary Kleinian and ego psychological perspectives, the role of extra‐transference interpretation, and the concept of the transference neurosis. An argument is made for an integrative approach, drawing upon different emphases, depending on the clinical circumstances and the point of affective immediacy for the patient, which may or may not coincide with the point of affective immediacy for the analyst.

“…Repair in depth requires understanding of both the analyst's and patient's respective contributions. Kohut (1959Kohut ( , 1982 taught us about the importance of understanding a patient from within the patient's frame of reference, the empathic mode of perceiving (see also Schwaber, 1981Schwaber, , 1998.

This article addresses the formation and transformation of self-experience with a central emphasis on therapeutic change. Focusing on motivation and organization of experience and their emergence within the analystpatient dyadic system, the author develops a theory of therapeutic action that involves two fundamental pathways of analytic change that operate in tandem: the explicit mutually exploratory/reflective avenue to therapeutic change and the co-creation of new relational experience.

“…All analysts variably use empathic listening in efforts to understand the analysand's “experiential world” (Stolorow, Atwood, & Orange, 2002). Self psychologists (Kohut, 1982; Ornstein & Ornstein, 1985, among many others) and Schwaber (1981, 1998) have especially emphasized its consistent or primary usage as the basis of analytic inquiry and understanding, reflecting the asymmetrical focus on the patient.…”

Some Key Features in the Evolution of Self Psychology and Psychoanalysis

Psychoanalysis, as every science and its application, has continued to evolve over the past century, especially accelerating over the last 30 years. Self psychology has played a constitutive role in that evolution and has continued to change itself. These movements have been supported and augmented by a wide range of emergent research and theory, especially that of cognitive psychology, infant and attachment research, rapid eye movement and dream research, psychotherapy research, and neuroscience. I present schematically some of what I consider to be the key features of the evolution of self psychology and their interconnection with that of psychoanalysis at large, including the revolutionary paradigm changes, the new epistemology, listening/experiencing perspectives, from narcissism to the development of the self, the new organization model of transference, the new organization model of dreams, and the implicit and explicit dimensions of analytic work. I conclude with a focus on the radical ongoing extension of the analyst's participation in the analytic relationship, using, as an example, the co-creation of analytic love, and providing several brief clinical illustrations. The leading edge question guiding my discussion is "How does analytic change occur?"
