ABSTRACT

I would like to start with an overtly categorical statement: there is no such thing as psychoanalytical field theory. There are rather quite a few psychoanalytical field theories, a whole family of related approaches to psychoanalysis, and as such they all show a family resemblance, although they are by no means equal (as the members of a family usually are). or, perhaps, we should talk about psychoanalytical field theorizing, meaning a whole new way of constructing not only psychoanalytical theories, but also our very experience of what transpires in our analytic offices during the sessions, and the way in which we think, talk, write or discuss it.
