ABSTRACT
One feature of the performance therapist's presentation is the structural performance. This includes how one was trained – their schools, supervisors, and theoretical orientation. It also includes the timing of sessions, scheduling, billing, and other practical matters. We explore the structural performance of technique, the ways in which one performs the methodology learned in their training, through the psychoanalytic perspective including the performances of rapport, abstinence, neutrality, and evenly suspended attention.
