There seems to be a need to theorize about transcendence in the actual relational literature. This may be related to the abandonment of drive theory. Emotions conceived by Matte-Blanco as infinite sets seem to recover that transcendence. In the clinical situation references to God seem to point many times to this infinity of emotionality. In these cases the emergence of art in the clinical dialogue—as long it can provide symbols of the infinite—seem to be able to unfold in our finiteness the infinite. These symbols can fill the infinity of potential space, so as not to experience an infinite and silent void that terrifies.
