Binocular vision in the total sitation

  • This paper investigates the concept of >total situation,< which, even though introduced into psychoanalytic thinking via sister disciplines, has gradually acquired a relatively prominent position in therapeutic practice. It is used as a metaphor for the envelopment of the unfolding transferential and otherwise events in the analytic process. Irrespective of whether one focuses on the individual analytic condition or the group analytic one, contemporary psychoanalytic perspectives include both bipersonal unconscious interactions as well as the various levels of the total situation in their conceptualizations of the nature of the process. Such a complex approach can only be achieved through the so-called binocular vision of the analyst.
