The nature of interpretation: intersubjectivity and the third position

Article Abstract:

Two broad contemporary approaches can be taken to psychoanalytic theory and clinical practice. One characterizes what may be called mainstream psychoanalysis; the other typifies the interpersonal-intersubjective-self psychological approach. The first provides for a sort of three-person analysis and lends itself to exploration of a broad spectrum of unconscious intrapsychic conflicts, oedipal and pre-oedipal and the psychopathology that goes with them. The latter, being two-person, restricts exploration too much, keeping it to the pre-oedipal.

Discussion of Otto F. Kernberg's paper: "The Nature of Interpretation: Intersubjectivity and the Third Position."((response to Otto F. Kernberg, same publication, same issue, p. 297))

Article Abstract:

Kernberg used the terminology "Intersubjectivity and the Third Position" in the title of his paper indicating with the conjunction "and" that the two concepts may be complementary, not contradictory. He found that the joining of the self-psychological and interpersonal culturalist approaches gave a new theoretical framework for intersubjectivity that precluded the analyst as outside observer.
