The field of psychoanalysis has undergone several paradigm changes. In addition, clinical psychoanalysis has four conceptually separable perspectives on the functioning of the human mind. Four psychologies currently significant in psychoanalytic thinking are id psychology, ego psychology, object relations theory, and self psychology. Each comes from a somewhat different perspective on human psychological functioning, emphasizing somewhat different phenomena. As a fifth paradigm of psychoanalysis, the introduction of intersubjectivity is an important facet of the current thinking in psychoanalysis. Intersubjective perspectives emerged roughly between the mid-1980s and mid-1990s as a result of the development of an analytic conceptualization of the nature of the interplay between subjectivity and intersubjectivity in the analytic setting. Currently intersubjectivity in psychoanalysis refers to the dynamic interplay between the subjective experiences of the analyst and patient during the analytic situation. It means that intersubjectivity is a field theory or systems theory in that it seeks to comprehend psychological phenomena not as products of an isolated intrapsychic mechanism, but as forming at the interface of reciprocally interacting subjectivities. The increasingly strong emphasis on the interdependence of the analytic subject(patient and analyst) in psychoanalysis is reviewed. Finally, Ogden’s concept of ‘the analytic third’, a product of a unique dialectic generated by the separate subjectivities of the analyst and analyzed within the analytic setting is also reviewed.
