The author brings a complexity sensibility to the concept of interpretation by conceptualizing an interpretive attitude as both a continual internal striving to understand and organize the multiplicity of experiences and states that emerge in an analytic field and an emergent property of that field—a complex dynamic system in which everything counts. Her interpretive attitude helps her patient to bring more coherence to his internal confusion and chaos. Inevitably, she communicates meaning to him implicitly, and when it seems useful, explicitly, as she strives to bring disparate things together lightly so he can move forward in his life with more freedom and vitality.
