If I were asked to reduce my “Credo” to two sentences they might be the following: I believe that what we call the therapeutic action of psychoanalysis is a self/other negotiation that takes place between and within analyst and patient at the interface of dissociation and the capacity to hold internal conflict. It is a nonlinear process that endows both their relationship and their individual self-states with an ever-evolving experience of wholeness that is the primary source of healing and growth.
