ABSTRACT
Dr. M. Zoe is considering therapy because she has been feeling anxious and a bit lost. As Zoe's analyses proceed, they continue to diverge. Each analyst has a unique set of clinical tools and techniques that she employs in her work with Zoe. This chapter discusses some of the clinical methods specific to each of the three field theory models of Drs. M, O, and P. Using the methods of a psychoanalytic field theory model makes a psychoanalytic process different from other therapeutic processes that draw on other clinical and theoretical frameworks. A field theory model posits a field from the beginning of the analytic process, a field that already has its own configuration of fantasies and objects. A clinical objective of each of the analysts is to attend to the unconscious process and unconscious fantasies that have emerged in the field.
