Notes on the Analytic True Self for Another
This personal essay explores the core of the author’s analytic way of being and relating. This fundamental place he calls the “analytic true self for another,” an aspirational engagement that embodies two ethical intentions: being present and relating with true feeling. To be present is what Gabriel Marcel names presence and availability: a porousness in the analyst, an openness to the influx of the patient’s emotions and states of mind that the …

Marching Musical Metaphors
The commentaries of Knoblauch, Music, and Blum (this issue) provide a fruitful interplay with the text, by considering embodied accompaniment in containing trauma and dissociation, and how it might play out in the supervisory experience. The commentaries all, in different ways, consider the way musical metaphors work. Their responses encouraged me to clarify and deepen the idea of musical accompaniment as metaphor, so that a restatement of some i…
Accompaniment in Jazz and Psychoanalysis
The author explores a fundamental role of the analyst as improvisational accompanist. This role requires a dedicated attention to the shared rhythmic dimension of the interaction, a mode of psychoanalytic attention of embodied self-awareness and sensitivity–that is, embodied attunement to the pulse of the interaction. Directed action follows by providing various forms of accompaniment that depend on the nature of the patient’s needs and emotional…
Embodied Attunement and Participation
The analyst’s embodied attunement and participation arises within an embodied analytic relationship. Understanding this “deep structure” of the interaction and attention to this level of interaction opens up new modes of engagement and therapeutic action. The importance of embodied attunement is supported by recent research and theories that the developing mind is shared and dialogical through bodily communication, by rhythms of cadence, tone, in…
Presence, Mourning, and Beauty
Analyst and patient occasionally arrive at moments of heightened meaning and aliveness. These moments can be transformative and lead to psychic change in the patient. They give life and arouse hope, and feel “real” in a new way, though often entailing emotional turbulence. Specific internal work must be done by the analyst to allow for and foster these experiences. This involves a kind of mourning process in the analyst that allows for “presence”…

Play in the Treatment of Adolescents
I propose a view of the treatment process with adolescents which places interactive play at the center. The adolescent plays by creating a highly charged interpersonal drama with the analyst to work out specific developmental conflicts. These conflicts involve struggles for greater autonomy and the formation of a solid sense of identity in the face of regressive pulls. The analyst unwittingly is taken up in the play and uses his or her sense of i…
