N2 - This paper emphasizes the clinical relevance of Sander's work and links it to the contemporary relational turn in psychoanalytic thought. Similarities to the original work of Sullivan and Fairbairn are noted, and broader commonalities with the new psychoanalytic developments are then developed. From this vantage point, two specific clinical advantages of Sander's approach are discussed. First, it focuses on interpersonal behavior, that is, on what people actually do with each other. Second, it explores a series of dialectics that are central to psychoanalytic process. These include those between complexity and unity, differences and continuity, and change and recurrence. Finally, a clinical vignette is presented, in which a shift in the tone of the supervisory interaction had a direct effect on the therapist – patient interaction and thus on the outcome of the therapy.

N2 - In this essay, we pose the question of psychoanalysis and national character. We explore the Americanness of psychoanalysis in this country through an examination of the history of its emergence in the early and mid-20th century, and through an examination of the impact of pragmatism on the formation and evolution of psychoanalysis in the United States. We consider American models of change and the impact of theoretical movements such as feminism and queer theory. We explore a particular quality and meaning of unconscious phenomena through an examination of American visions of nature over the past century and a half. The impact of elements of national identity and dominant American ideas and practices on relational psychoanalysis is also addressed. Y1 - 2004 ER - TY - JOUR A1 - Mitchell, Stephen A.
