Current and historical usages of the concept of neutrality are examined in an attempt to deconstruct the role of neutrality within a hierarchical and gendered system. Neutrality is then reconceptualized as a relational event within the analysis that stands apart from transference-countertransference enmeshments. Neutrality is understood as a mutual achievement that cannot be claimed in an a priori manner by the analyst. Resistance is similarly reconceptualized as an aspect of a relational unconscious designed to maintain transference - countertransference configurations. This phenomenon is termed intersubjective resistance and, as a jointly held state, is most apt to reveal itself when the analyst breaches normative conduct. It is at these junctures that the analyst's self-disclosure and mutual exploration of the enactment become a powerful method for furthering the analytic process. An extended case vignette illustrates the use of self-disclosure for the purpose of understanding an enactment and unraveling an intersubjective resistance.}, language = {en} } @article{Gerson, author = {Gerson, Samuel}, title = {From philosophy to poetry changes in psychoanalytic discourse}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 06 (1996), pp. 671-674.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 06 (1996), pp. 671-674.}, language = {en} } @article{Gerson, author = {Gerson, Samuel}, title = {Haunted Talk, Healing Action: Commentary on Paper by Kimberlyn Leary}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 06 (1996), pp. 903-907.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 06 (1996), pp. 903-907.}, language = {en} } @article{Gerson, author = {Gerson, Samuel}, title = {Negotiating potential space illusion, play, metaphor, and the subjunctive}, series = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 08 (1998), pp. 741-746.}, journal = {Psychoanalytic Dialogues Vol. 08 (1998), pp. 741-746.}, language = {en} } @article{Gerson, author = {Gerson, Samuel}, title = {Relationships to Bad Objects: Repetition or Current Self-Disorganization?
