This article addresses the formation and transformation of self-experience with a central emphasis on therapeutic change. Focusing on motivation and organization of experience and their emergence within the analyst–patient dyadic system, the author develops a theory of therapeutic action that involves two fundamental pathways of analytic change that operate in tandem: the explicit mutually exploratory/reflective avenue to therapeutic change and the co-creation of new relational experience.
