Stern and the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG, 1998; BCPSG, 2018) have done pioneering work on the process of the two people in therapy by focusing on micro-events of interaction and on the bodies of both patient and therapist.
The pioneering work of Stern and of the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG (1998), BCPSG, 2002, BCPSG, 2018) has focused on micro-events, i.e. the moment-to-moment interactive process that includes also the bodies of the patient and the therapist.
I have also made use of the work of the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG, 1998, 2002, 2018) and particularly of the ”Sandwich model” of Harrison (2014).
Harrison elaborated her model on the basis of the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG), and the work of Beebe, Lachmann, and Tronick.
The slogan of the Boston Change Process Study group that something more than interpretation is needed, where that something takes the form of psychological acts within a mutative relationship with the therapist, embodies the intersubjective experience of truth around which a substantial consensus has now emerged (Boston Change Process Study Group 2002, 2010).

The relational notion of a third that is co-created between therapist and patient is supported by infant research (Beebe & Lachmann, 2005; Boston Change Process Study Group [BCPSG], 1998; Lyons-Ruth, 1999; Lyons-Ruth & BCPSG, 2001; Stern et al., 1998), which has shown us that primary dyadic relations are co-created.
He ends Partners in Thought by considering differences between his thinking and that of the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG), with which he has much, but not everything, in common.
The concept of implicit relational knowing, introduced by the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG), is a way of describing the brain’s set of predictions and expectations in one’s relational world.
Work with the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG; Dan Stern, Lou Sander, Ed Tronick, Karlen Lyons-Ruth, Alexandra Harrison, Jeremy Nahum, Alex Morgan, and Nadia Bruchsweiler-Stern) brought him more directly into the dialogue within psychoanalysis.
Im Unterschied zu den meisten qualitativen Verfahren (z.B. »Inhaltsanalyse« oder »Grounded Theory« [Flick, von Kardorff & Steinke 2009]) zielt sie auf die Evaluation der Entwicklung der Übertragungs-Gegenübertragungs-Szene ab (Holmes 2014), und zwar konzentriert auf die Identifikation von »Jetzt-Momenten« (»Now Moments«) und »Begegnungsmomenten« (»Moments of Meeting«), wie sie die Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG) erforscht und konzeptualisiert hat (Stern, Sander et al. 2002).
The Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG) puts it this way: “Mind becomes the way in which a living body acts, not something separable from, hidden behind, or leading to its action (Boston Change Process Study Group, 2013, p.
This is the embodied learning emphasized by the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG 2018) who argue that movement, intention and affect serve continuously as communication, largely outside of consciousness, between patient and therapist.
The following example is an excerpt from a psychotherapy session provided by the Boston Change Process Study Group (BCPSG):
