ABSTRACT
Judging from the data it provides, consensual analysis may bring us closer than any other method yet devised to examining the context of conscious, preconscious, and unconscious associations of the treating analyst and to understanding the non-verbal meaning of the therapist's reactions in the course of interaction with the patient during a psychoanalysis. In this brief review, I will attempt to examine consensual analysis as a research method, review some of its findings, and discuss implications for further research.
