“…Common to both versions of the theory, in any case, are certain general ideas that have been incorporated in the Barangers’ conception: whatever takes shape in the field has to be understood as a function of the ‘total situation’; the historical past (and possible futures) exist only as structures in the here‐and‐now of the present field; the local effect of the field on each of the participants at a given moment will be experienced as an inclination to move or act or think in a particular way (for alternative synopses, see Tubert‐Oklander, 2007; Tiemersma, 1987).…”

“…In the context of current debates concerning ‘relational’ psychoanalysis, and ‘intersubjectivity’, the meaning and implications of this statement might be contested by analysts of differing persuasions. Tubert‐Oklander (2007), for example, writing from an avowedly ‘relational’ perspective, explores the tension between his own understanding of the Barangers’ text and what he believes would be the Barangers’ understanding of it.…”

“…First published 46 years ago in Spanish, this paper is here published in English for the first time. These notes are intended as an aid to reading the paper, and as a commentary on some of the concepts elaborated in it: 'field', 'essential ambiguity', 'bipersonal unconscious phantasy', 'point of urgency ', and 'bastion'.

“…This belief, cautiously pursued under the haven of the newly founded Society for Psychical Research, was developed in parallel with his pioneering work in physics on wireless (radio) telegraphy. Another outgrowth of his physical science research was the entertainment of the idea that consciousness could be located and stored outside the brain, much as electrical and magnetic fields surround the area outside conductors, a field analogy still being speculated on in a variety of ways by researchers today (Mansfield, 1996;Tubert-Oklander, 2007).…”

This paper hypothesizes key physical principles underlying human psychology fundamental to thought and social behavior. The model supposes when two individuals are involved with each other they are neurologically and therefore physically coupled or "bonded" with each other in a special way. There is an attractive-repulsive connecting force that guides behavior primarily localized in the neurochemistry of the brain. We are attracted to or repelled from objects and stimuli in a fundamentally electromagnetic way, directly correlated with the biochemical/electrochemical storage of charged information driving behavior in the brain. Neurobiological activities, e.g., ion channels, action potentials, and neurotransmitters, are chemical processes in and of themselves; it follows that behavior must be deterministically influenced by them. The model uniquely proposes that physical coupling occurs through space and often in approximately simultaneous time due to the summation of microscopic neuronal events leading to cognition and behavior in the compartmentalized "clockwork" of separate but synchronized brains. This may result in a coherence in thought and behavior through an interdependent physiological "force," sometimes resulting in what have previously been considered to be unusual coincidental phenomena such as synchronicity or telepathy. Historical origins of the model are traced, and preceding ideas are explained using a new conceptual foundation for synchronistic effects in interactive thought, feeling, and social behavior.

The term "regression" refers to events in which an individual changes from his or her present level of maturity and regains mental and behavioral characteristics shown at an earlier point in development. This definition has remained constant for over a century, but the implications of the concept have changed systematically from a perspective in which regression was considered pathological, to a current view in which regression may be seen as a positive step in psychotherapy or as a part of normal development. The concept of regression, famously employed by Sigmund Freud and others in his circle, derived from ideas suggested by Herbert Spencer and by John Hughlings Jackson. By the 1940s and '50s, the regression concept was applied by Winnicott and others in treatment of disturbed children and in adult psychotherapy. In addition, behavioral regression came to be seen as a part of a normal developmental trajectory, with a focus on expectable variability. The present article examines historical changes in the regression concept in terms of mapping to biomedical or other metaphors, in terms of a movement from earlier nativism toward an increased environmentalism in psychology, and with respect to other historical factors such as wartime events. The role of dominant metaphors in shifting perspectives on regression is described.
