ABSTRACT
Communication in a general sense in the sessions affords access to unconscious processes. There is a trio of concepts that is instrumental to understanding how each field theory models exchange in sessions that affords access to unconscious processes. These three concepts also assist in revealing what each model understands by the concept of unconscious processes. This trio of concepts consists of time, truth, and reality. The three models of field theory hold similar conceptions of time. In the mythopoeic and oneiric models, there is a so-called spiral process conception of time. All three psychoanalytic field theory perspectives agree that there is always a multilayered, unconscious set of possible variations to any clinical communication. Unconscious processes in the plasmic model require a more extended discussion involving the use of unconscious processes in the psychoanalytic models from which the plasmic model derives.
