By Kenneth A Frank
In Psychoanalytic Participation: motion, interplay, and Integration, Kenneth Frank argues that the gulf among research and what he phrases "action-oriented" or cognitive-behavioral strategies is anachronistic and has unnecessarily restricted the repertoire of analytically orientated clinicians. in actual fact, action-oriented or even cognitive-behavioral options will be hired in ways in which are in keeping with the analytic aim of selling profound character swap, and so could be profitably integrated into analytic remedies.
Anchoring his dialogue in a modern two-person version of psychoanalysis, Frank clarifies and extends the shift towards analyst participation that has constructed inside of contemporary relational theorizing. at the foundation of this orientation, which calls cognizance to the healing significance of the genuine characteristics of the analyst and of the analytic courting, Frank units forth a realistic analytic method that balances conventional "process" parts with sufferers' problem-solving and out of doors development in knowing lifestyles ambitions. through letting themselves be identified by way of their sufferers and by way of partaking intensively and actively of their remedy, analysts as analysts will help sufferers form new and adaptive behaviors of their day-by-day lives. it's the participatory probabilities turning out to be out of a modern relational point of view that offer the floor for a rapprochement among psychoanalysis and cognitive-behavior treatment. To this finish, Frank offers quite a few examples of the way action-oriented, cognitive-behavioral rules and strategies can be utilized to potentiate and speed up the analytic procedure.
At as soon as scholarly and exploratory, pragmatic and visionary, Psychoanalytic Participation is helping shepherd psychoanalysis into the twenty first century whereas making psychoanalytic knowledge - either conventional and modern - to be had to the huge neighborhood of psychotherapists appreciative of the usefulness of cognitive-behavioral therapy strategies.

Verbalization and behavior are seen as transforms of one another, and interactions-what happens between the analytic participants, are as important as what is said. What is "done" that is of interest is done not only by the patient but by the participant-analyst as well, and there is value in clarifying the correspondence between verbal and action levels of communication. The view that interaction is inevitable and therapeutically integral results in the collaborative attempt to understand mutual impact as the analytic medium.
Because there is no single formula for integrating two-person or interactional ideas with traditional psychoanalytic methods, it is hardly a straightforward matter to integrate two-person insights such as interaction with the basic one-person schema that traditional psychoanalysis has been based on; and observers have taken a variety of positions with respect to the theoretical and technical significance of these ideas. The debate among those advocating different interpretations is highly THE PSYCHOANALYST'S PARTICIPATION AND THE NEW ROLE 33 significant because an analyst's understanding of the role of interaction is embedded in his or her fundamental theoretical commitments; how he or she relates to the one-person or two-person question plays an integral role in determining the forms the analyst's participation will take.
Boesky explicitly stated his opposition to attempts to emphasize interpersonal therapeutic processes such as the corrective emotional experience and techniques such as countertransference disclosure. Such approaches are emphasized as part of the participatory approach advanced in this book. With views similar to that which I am recommending, some authors (Levenson, 1972, 1983; Ehrenberg, 1982, 1984, 1992; Wachtel, 1983; Stern, 1989; Renik, 1993a, 1995) take the importance of interaction to the next level, integrating it more actively with understandings of the analyst's participation and the therapeutic action.
