This article explores the relation between two quantitative measures of unconscious communication: (a) referential activity, which emerged from the dualcoding model of mental representation; and (b) newness of themes and extent of narrative/imagery, first identified as bearers of derivative material in the communicative approach to psychotherapy. The measures are applied to data from 2 female patients, each of whom was seen separately by 3 psychoanalysts-6 analysts in all—in videotaped consultation interviews. The main findings include significant correlations between referential activity and both newness of themes and extent of narrative/imagery. It was also found that newness of themes and extent of narrative/imagery correlated significantly with each other. Scores on the measures tended to be lowest with the analysts who spoke most often. The limitations of this study, its implications, and the direction of future related work are discussed.
