This paper aims to illuminate different aspects of states of ‘non-disturbance’ which take place during psychoanalytic treatment and to construct them as a distinct therapeutic stance, which I termed ‘The Point of Non-Disturbance.’ This stance entails the therapist mindfully situating himself in a quiet, stable and vanishing centre of his consciousness, constituting a source of inspiration and facilitation that enables the patient to surrender himself into a space of potentiality and emergence.

I would like to propose that the ‘point of non-disturbance’ occurs and materializes in three psychic spheres and is based on two foundations. The spheres in which the ‘point of non-disturbance’ could be encountered within psychoanalytic treatment are: the sphere of awareness to contents, the sphere of sensory being and the sphere of affinity to otherness. The two foundations on which it is based are: the epistemic-experiential foundation, which concerns the therapist's readiness to adjust to an open, clear mental state, characterized by intense, albeit effortless, concentration; and the ethical foundation, which relates to valuing not-knowing as an infinite psychic wellspring, as well as to the transpersonal dimension in our affinity to the other.

Clinical illustrations are presented to demonstrate the proposed conceptualization.
