Relationality by Stephen A. Mitchell
From Attachment to Intersubjectivity
This book presents a relational approach to psychoanalytic theory and practice, arguing that personality and psychopathology are best understood as emerging from interpersonal and intersubjective processes rather than as solely intrapsychic drives. It synthesizes attachment research, object-relations thinking, and contemporary intersubjectivity theory to show how selfhood is constructed in relationships and how therapy involves mutual influence, enactment, and the therapist’s subjectivity. Clinical implications include attending to relational patterns, countertransference, and the co-creation of meaning between patient and analyst to foster change.
