This introduction reviews the themes that define the tapestry of contemporary relational psychoanalysis beginning with the commonalities articulated by Davies as the “rituals of relational psychoanalysis” and through the different angles provided by Shane, Pizer, and Blechner. I add a missing dimension of relational contributions to the social and political infusing our work, as well as an appreciation of the maturing of relational psychoanalysis as paradigm.
