Deconstructing the dialectic.
Abstract
The author examines some of the newly offered ideas and concepts about the interaction of the patient and the analyst. This interaction is termed a dialectic in the sense of interacting forces and this study is called a deconstruction, which is an effort to see how unstable and self-contradictory these new ideas may be. They are examined in terms of viewpoints of analysis as a developmental process, the location of the data of analysis, and the technical modifications that follow from this changed theoretical vision. A clinical example is offered to demonstrate the resultant problems. The suggested present status of the impact of these new ideas is that of a family of related concepts with no unifying theory.
