But what is the common ground where psychoanalysts can refer to facing changes in psychoanalytic theory and practice, especially in the direction of the intersubjective paradigm? In this paper, the traditional psychoanalytic attitude of an objective interpretation of the inner world of the patient is contrasted to the position that is the result of the intersubjective conception of the psychoanalytic process. The latter assigns the role of a co-player to the analyst.

In this, the author confirms criticism currently being expressed in Germany whereby this situation is a consequence of the incorporation of personal development processes, including the training analysis, within the educational programme used by the training institutions. He sees the reason for the failure to implement changes in the training system as an unconscious need on the part of analysts in training for intimacy, a need which coincides with the need of the institutions involved to maintain their power.}, language = {en} } @article{Ermann, author = {Ermann, Michael}, title = {Transference Interpretations as Relationship Work}, series = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press), Vol. 3 (No. 1, March 1994), pp. 25-33.}, journal = {International Forum of Psychoanalysis, Oslo (Scandinavian University Press), Vol. 3 (No. 1, March 1994), pp. 25-33.}, language = {en} }
