Among analytic thinkers, the therapeutic setting has traditionally been perceived as maintained only by the therapist. I propose an alternative perspective, which sees the setting as constructed and maintained by both partners in the therapeutic interaction—the therapist and the patient—and proposes that the process of mutual construction, and not its end product only, is of central importance in the therapeutic endeavor. This article stems from the intersubjective approach, which, in Aron's (1996) words, views the therapeutic process as a mutual but not symmetrical process brought into existence by both partners in the therapeutic interaction. In this paper I present thoughts on the mutual construction not only of the therapeutic process but of the therapeutic setting. I describe how this occurs and is expressed, accompanied by presentation and discussion of clinical illustrations.
