Abstract

This chapter covers the “relational turn,” foregrounding how interpretation becomes deeply intersubjective, co-created, and emergent from the analytic field. Themes include enactment, dissociation, the analytic third, and the role of mutual recognition and self-disclosure. The chapter emphasizes the move from analyst-centered revelation to dialogue, mutual influence, and the transformative power of genuine relational engagement.
