Clearly there's been a paradigm shift since Freud articulated the psychoanalytic project, from an intrapsychic drive theory to one which focuses on the intersubjective, whether that be expressed in terms of projection and projective identification,' the four basic transference types, the infection of the analyst's unconscious, the nature of the countertransference* or the existence of a creative potential space.' When a therapist sits with a client these days, she is more aware of her participation in a living process and less hung up in elusive attempts to identify a drive, reveal a repression or solve a riddle.
