It is common knowledge that there has been a monumental shift in the psychoanalytic paradigm. The analyst was expected to “know” and “interpret” the content of a patient's mind or the motivation of a patient's behaviour. While treatment process mostly centres on the concerns of the patient, it is now clear to us that the subjectivities of both patient and therapist influence the course of treatment. The newer understanding of “intersubjectivity” is that intersubjectivity is, whether or not it is acknowledged or articulated. This article focuses on the analyst's subjectivity, which although is an accepted reality, is rarely clinically conveyed. Rather, it continues to remain hidden. Whatever remains hidden is often subsumed in shame and is therefore not available for reflection or investigation. We analysts are typically wounded healers. Our wounds, and in fact all the particulars of our histories, effect how we organise and metabolise the subjectivities of our patients.
