Each Author Writes about Unconscious Communication in psycho-analysis from different perspectives and utilizes methodologies from different disciplines. The result is a broadening exploration of unconscious communication in psychoanalysis that can lead to theoretical and technical advances in the field.
Unconscious communication is seen as a partially unconscious process of mutual growth and development occurring within the patient and analyst (Jacobs).
The understanding of unconscious communication that appears magical or uncanny should be considered the result of dynamics that can be understood by utilizing the psychoanalytic method (Kantrowitz).
The findings from child development can promote new ways of looking at unconscious communication in the psychoanalytic situation (Pally).
Including cognition that occurs outside of awareness enriches a systemic approach to unconscious communication. The unconscious is best seen as the result of modalities that are functioning and not whether is in or out of awareness.
Finally there is more in the mind and world than we know or western scientific thinking can explain (Lazar).
All the authors address the limitation of current psychoanalytic thought in offering a more inclusive study of unconscious communication and the importance of learning and borrowing understanding from other disciplines. The future of psychoanalysis will depend on how well we are able to learn from different perspectives and disciplines.
